Biography:
In the past three years Matthew Mayfield has both redefined himself and redefined how a musician can record and release music. When Matthew’s previous band, Moses Mayfield, which signed with Epic when he was only 21, disbanded at the close of 2007, the Birmingham-based musician was forced to decide how to proceed with his life. A working musician since the age of 18, he only knew songwriting, recording, and touring. “All I ever wanted to be was a rock 'n roll star,” Matthew says. “When the band broke up, I knew I had to keep pushing."

"Always Be You"
Tuning: Open D (D-A-D-F#-A-D)
Capo: 2nd Fret
Tuning Notes:
Alternatively you can play without a capo by tuning to Open E (E-B-E-G#-B-E). On YouTube,
there is a live concert video of him performing this song with Capo 4 but he plays with
Open C tuning.
Tablature Notes: Listen for the strumming pattern to play this. The third and final
chorus is played
with emphasis on the high e string. I did not tab this part out but you can figure it
out by playing
along/improvising. I used the live version mentioned above to get the foundation of the
tab down and used
the album version to clean it up so it matches the studio version.
