Artist: José Gonzales
Song: Fold
Album: In Our Nature (2007)
I´ve been trying to learn this song for a long time now (ofcourse not the whole time),
and this is strictly by ear, because there hasn´t been any good tabs of this song out there.
This song is not 100% correct of how José plays it, but it´is as close as I can get to it.
Hopefully this will help you learn to play this song, see it as a guide as there are no
tab books with José. Also, this song needs patience, patience, patience, patience and a whole
lot of feeling and lots of patience (if you didn´t get it the first 4 times). I´ve tried to
put up some guidelines in this tab, but if you don´t understand, send me a e-mail
below).
I will try to answer as fast as I can. If I don´t, I´m probably dead or drunk.... or busy!
Tuning: B A D F# B E
Verse:
Right hand:
During the verse I play B, A and D string with my thumb and
the F# with my middle finger and B with my ringfinger.
Left hand:
Middlefinger on A, indexfinger on D and making the hammer-pulloff
with your ringfinger. This only work in the first part, but then you
have to adjust and make the pulloff with your pinky.
The verse consists of 3 chords, I´m not gonna write down the whole
progression. You have to listen to the song and learn it.
