Christ Has Set Me Free
Tabbed by: Dan Posthuma
Tuning: Db A D F# B E (Trust me on this)
CAPO 1st fret (So it?s D Bb Eb G C F)
I?m not going to go into all the detail since that could get really long and confusing.
I?ll just give you the basics. I figured out the song in standard tuning with no capo
and it?s in F major but some of the finger-picking was awkward so I reworked the tuning
and used a capo and found this to be much easier.
The intro chord is simply an F with a hammer-on/pull-off on the G string.
The next chord is basically the same ? an F but with a D for the bass note.
