Doubting Thomas - Nickel Creek Tabbed by Weston T. Leavitt Guitar 1 - Capo 1 (standard tuning) Guitar 2 - Capo 6 (standard tuning) Guitar 3 (Drone) - No Capo (standard tuning) Guitar 4 (Drone harmony) - No Capo (standard tuning) (optional) Guitar 5 (bass) - Capo 1 (standard tuning) Guitar 6 (violin) - untabbed. Sorry! Guitar 1 Capo 1 All chords are fingerpicked. It doesnt really matter in what order, as long as the notes are part of the chord. play around with different notes and switch it up in the chords to get a more rich round sound. If you cant finger pick, strum them!
