Godspeed You Black Emperor Blaise Bailey Finnegan III (BBF III) This is the version that was arranged by Ghim (http://ca.youtube.com/user/gihm). The can be seen here: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=tJtdUgnmyF8 . This is the best and only version I have found arranged for ONE guitar, so I decided to it out for everyone to enjoy! THE TIMING IS NOT PERFECT ESPECIALLY THE STRUMMING PARTS (watch vid for timing!!!!) So the tuning he is: Tune the e up to Gb] Tune the b down to Bb] Tune the G down to Gb] Tune the D down to Db] Tune the A down to Ab] And E stays E ] He then places a Capo on the 2nd fret. I will tab it out as though there is no capo (eg. fret means 7th fret, NOT 7th from capo!)
