For this song we'll be using a capo on the second fret for guitar two so that will be the
last overdub in this loop. With two guitarists playing acoustic together it's common to
see one of them using a capo to play the same key progression but with different
chord shapes. This creates a much richer, fuller sound than both guitars playing the same
chords, and a good example of keeping each overdub in it's own 'register' which was
explained in the first exercise.
First off, we'll start with our beat and build it up from there.
percussion (kick, snare and tom)
bassline
Like we did on 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', we will be strumming guitars one and two so
tab isn't needed for this. The chord/strumming pattern are below, running
alongside the percussion tab to guide you.
It's the same for both guitars - so overdub guitar one, close the loop, then place the capo
on the second fret and overdub guitar two.
