**standard tuning**
**(1+ 2+ 3+ 4+) are counts to help with strumming patterns in a few places
** the A#/F according to a chord finder is really B♭add11/F but I can't use/link the ♭ notation on this
editor so here is the tab for the chord I play as well as variations that might sound better to you.
I personally like just having to move my two fingers on the 3rd fret when changing quick from the F chord.
B♭add11/F or B♭/F or B♭
E|---1---- ----1--- ---1---
B|---3---- ----3--- ---3---
G|---3---- OR ----3--- OR ---3---
D|---1---- ----3--- ---3---
A|---1---- ----1--- ---1---
E|---1---- ----1--- ---X---
**many don't use the B♭/F and just keep strumming on F but I like mixing it up a bit to break the monotony
