• Song:

    The Echomaker

  • Artist:

    Coheed and Cambria

This is a quick attempt at the acoustic song Claudio played during some of the 
tour. I'm unsure of whether it's going to be a Coheed song or a PFI song, so I'm 
submitting it here.
The audio is kind of hard to hear sometimes, I think it's close, but not perfect.

It's tuned a half-step down, but the chord names reflect standard tuning.

It starts with a finger-picked thing like this:

triplet feel, play x2
    C       Cadd9     C11     Cadd9    C    Cadd9      C11
e|--------------------1-------0-------------------------1-------0-----------|
B|--1-------3-----------3-------3------1-------3----------3-------3---------|
G|----0-------0-----------0-------0------0-------0----------0-------0-------|
D|------2-------2-----------2--------------2-------2---------2--------------|
A|--3-----3-------3--3--------------3--3-----3-------3--3--------------3----|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

   G                            F(picked)
e|-3------------3----3----3--------------3p0----3-----------------------------|
B|---3----------3----3----3-----1-----------1---------------------------------|
G|-----0--------0---------0-----2-------------0-------------------------------|
D|-------0------0---------0-----3---------------------------------------------|
A|---------2----2---------2-----3---------------------------------------------|
E|-3---------3--3------3--3---------------------------------------------------|

In the verse he uses the finger picking, but I'm just going to put the chords.
