I Thought I Knew Ya

"Seeds"
Chords : Craig Eddy
~Martins tuned down a 1/2 step~
* Keep in mind Martin plays w/o a pick and he constantly uses his signature percussive
every other beat*
** Martin sometimes hammers on the B String 3rd Fret after the A Chord (middle finger)**
*** If you've played Martin's music before, you'll get the idea....he's constantly
out his Bass lines
and basic hammer on and pull offs from the chords provided.***
