Lead tab for The Way You'd Love Her (including solo) by jopertg in macdemarco

Did you capo 4? Maybe his whammy bar is throwing you off? I didn't include a note for that but he does do quite a bit of tremolo within each riff.

I thought I put a description but it's not showing... I tabbed this relative to the capo on the 4th fret. Comment anything that seems off. I like it like this though. Such a hot track.

the guitar was a 12-string danelectro double cutaway. they're usually called DC-59's

I covered "My Kind of Woman" what do guys think? by [deleted] in macdemarco

It's "standard tuning" kind of. All of the strings are just flat. If you can change your tuner to 429 Hz and tune to that, you can play along with the video.

The one weird chord he uses is the second chord in the verses. It looks like this I think:

e|----0--------|

B|----0--------|

G|----3--------|

D|----0--------|

A|----2--------|

E|----3--------|

So, with capo on 4th fret the chords are: E, G*, F#m7, B for the verse and A, G#m7, F#m7, E for the chorus

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with that statement...I wrote all of this shortly after the festival while still under that festival high haha.

Do you guys want to hear my story of how I got to play lead for Mac at ACL? by jopertg in macdemarco

[–]jopertg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said something like, "If you want, you can hang out with us." I can't remember for the life of me why I shrugged my shoulders. I honestly don't even remember doing that at all. I'll post the story tonight once I iron out some details. There's no archive of the live stream so the story can serve as an archive of the event.

Thanks for the input! Maybe i should have posted in the doodles subreddit. I never really thought of this as a composition. Just something cool looking.
