Jack Johnson - Better Together Ver 2 guitar tab
Your rating:
*Tabbed by K. Diddy on 11/10/05* *REVISED ON December 16, 2005* Song: Better Together Artist: Jack Johnson Album: in between dreams Tuning: Standard [EADGBE] This tab is 100% perfect, finally. Apparently the Bb/A chord got lost in translation, as I forgot to add it in the chord progression (A huge thanks goes to Bill, Peter, Kevin, Matt, and Steve for the heads up!). I also added the interlude for individual note playing (which may or may not be used, depending on the situation [Jack uses it on the CD but not on AOL Sessions or in some concerts!]). One more thing, in the bridge we have a progression of Gm to C, which is easy. The Gm is definitely played on the 3rd fret, but the C chord can either be played on the 8th (8-10-10-9-9-8) or on the 3rd as I’ve tabbed it. They both sound the same, but I used the 3rd for a quicker transition!

Umm...100% perfect eh? Ok, the tab is great, but the recordings (and shows I've seen) I have of this song is 1/2 step up. Try playing it in that key and it sounds much better. Otherwise it's pretty accurate. Word

Since when does 100% correct allow for missing a chord in the verse. I believe it is Am. 577555.
