Save Your Love – James Bay
Nghệ sĩ: James Bay
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
Song: Save Your Love
Artist: James Bay
Key (original): A major
Key (capo 2): G major
Video source: https://youtu.be/PJcMQIvN7ek
I have tabbed this song using the 'Live from Abbey Tavern' video above as a source. The chords listed below
are all relative to the Capo placed on the 2nd fret when using standard E tuning (EADGBE). Place the Capo on
the 4th fret when using classic James Bay tuning - i.e., standard D tuning (DGCFAD). FYI, this is the same
tuning that James Bay uses in the video above and in some of his previous songs (e.g. Let It Go).
In the intro, James Bay uses a 'pluck and chuck' strumming technique (see also Stop This Train by John Mayer).
It will require you to learn how to slap the guitar while simultaneously strumming with your forefinger.
It's a very difficult strumming technique to master but very satisfying when you are able to pull it off...
Speaking of which, James Bay adds a bunch of hammer-ons and pull-offs during the song. Best thing to do is to
listen closely and try to figure it out yourself. Imitation is, after all, the best form of flattery!!
