A Twist In My Story

Biography:

Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.

After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade.

Alternatives for this artist

Okay, this is my first tab, but I feel this version is a LOT easier to play than
everything else. The chords may not be EXACTLY the chords he plays, but they
sound the same. It's tuned a half step down. I'm not sure the names of these
chords are right either...whatever. Listen to the song to ge tthe strumming and
placement of chords, as this is just a rough estimate. Hope this is easier for you to play.
