• Song:

    La Mar

  • Artist:

    The Beautiful Girls

  • Album:

    Water

Note: Chord Progression is written as if the guitar is tuned to standard ie. EADGBE 

F  Dm  A  A# 

The F, A and A# are E shaped Barre Chords 

Ie. F is 

 --1-- 
 --1?- 
 --2?- 
 --3?- 
 --3?- 
 --1?- 

where F is the root note on the Low string (if the guitar was tuned to standard). 

The Dm is in the Am Barre shape 

 --5-- 
 --6?- 
 --7?- 
 --7?- 
 --5?- 
 --x?- 

Where D is the root note on the A string (if the guitar was tuned to standard.) 

This has been a tricky one to work out! The picking pattern is below. I actually prefer to play the whole pattern one string lower if I?m playing solo, as it allows me to emphasise the bass note (due to the lack of a bass player!)
