capo?

tunning??

in the live video he plays it with a capo...i think that might be wat you are missing cause it doesnt sound right

It looks like you tabbed this by memory with not a lot of musical sense. How did this get posted? You need details like the last guy said; capo? tuning? It's like your switching between open E and standard.

No, I did not tab it from memory. It makes pleanty of musical sence. When I submitted this tab, it did have the tuning and the capo. It was edited out when I submitted it.

I have already posted about this in the forum, and if you'll just be patient it should be edited soon.

The tuning is C Open. (CGCGCE) and it is capoed on the 4th fret.

Cool tab man, thanks. I already knew how John plays most of this, I just needed one or two bits, and you got 'em! Thanks again. (5 Stars, by the way)

Excellent tab!!! This sounds great when you play it! I saw John Butler in concert last month and he is amazing! He played a version of Ocean I had never heard before. I love it! Great artist. He needs more recognition!

Can someone tell me if I'll be able to play this on a 6 string classical, I'm just wondering if I'll be able to do the fingertapping with nylon strings, and what does br mean?:S
December 15 2008, 09:44 pm by SubtleScream |
Fingertapping works better with a lot of tension, something nylon strings don't really have. So theoretically speaking, you could get the song to come out of that guitar, it would just be quiet and you wouldn't get the full value.

gunna take me a while to learn this....good tho!thanks
May 19 2009, 08:28 pm by Cahuliann |
a lot of people are say this is good but this si wrong yea a lot fo it is right but after the 2 handed tapping section at the beginning you get it wrong up untill the fast part then right after the fast part you have it wrong until the strumming up by the 12th fret then after that if you listen to the song it is clearly wrong. the notes are right your strumming pattern is wrong . if anyone wants a good sense of the right version look at the one i posted

i dont know what the deal is. but this does not sound right, open c capoed on 4? thats how i've tuned but the bass notes sound all off
April 3 2010, 05:44 am by dis_is_riskee |
this is very accurate, but you can never get this tab right because john butler plays it different every time. sometimes he has capo at 4th fret, sometimes he doesn't. great tab
June 30 2010, 05:18 pm by JohnButler87 |
Excellent tab , i wonder if you can explain the rythm and picking pattern because john is so fast with his hand that i cant really see what he is actually doing...

Thank you and congratulations
July 21 2010, 12:12 am by Pandi747 |
This is somewhat accurate but it is very confusing compared to the version two of this. I don't know why version 2 has a worse rating it is much more clear about rhythms and overall flow of the piece. I would encourage people learning this to look at version 2

Beautifully done! One tiny thing that may situationally help; the 4h5's on the bottom C string in Intro 2 are 4s5's when he plays it, as it sets your fingers up for the next part a bit better. Cheers
