Parachute Chris Stapleton Tuning: half step down I transcribed this from watching the video of him playing this live on SNL. This is identical to what he plays and in my opinion is easier than the other versions out there because it is all in the first position and makes for an easy transition from the intro/solo to chords. Enjoy jammin’ this great tune!
