i really like the chords what you figured out for the song, but i didn’t like one thing – “say you feel it 2” …. that tab wasn’t good for that place:/ can you improve it? BUT its still daaa best!
So, I looked it over and I did have a typo mistake (a ‘3’ on the G string should have been a ‘2’) which did make it a bit ‘off’ sounding, so after fixing that typo and playing that part through, I ended up changing those 2’s to 1’s- 1st fret G string instead of 2nd fret G string.
I couldn’t hear anything ‘off’ for the rest of the line, so that was the only change made.I did end up changing the G chord to a Cadd9, so that progression is A# Cadd9 D. Thanks for the heads up! :)
