Notes:
- A standard tuning arrangement without capo follows this capo'd
alternate tuning arrangement.
- Tabs are for studio recording, using live video to help identify them.
- See the provided diagrams for chord fingerings. As this is not standard
tuning, the chord fingerings for standard tuning do not apply. However, some
less familiar chords have well-known fingering, e.g. Am11 is played as Am7.
- The Cadd9 chords are played in a fashion similar to "Riff for Cadd9".
