CGCGGC Capos on the 11th covering everything but the 6th string. put your fingers on the low E string everything is open. picking sounds like 62436251 should be the same as video games cover of his. Thanks guys
That would be more correctly: CGCGGC Capos on the 11th covering everything but the 6th string. Put your fingers on the low E string in thus frets(in turn): 11, 10, 8, 6 and repeat. Everything under capo is open. for each picking fret you play: 63436351. going to another fret before you playing last string(1) and you ll get clear similar to what Ben plays.
You can't beat the original and I don't think this version has enough passion behind it but I don't think I could ever dislike one of Ben's songs. He just makes everything so soft and lilting and rough.
Ok unpopular opinion here but in my opinion the versions of The Boxer rank like this: 1. Mumford and Sons 2. Ben Howard (would be first but I don't like the harmonization in the chorus) 3. Simon and Garfunkel I'm so sorry. Please don't hurt me.
It's okay I guess, and I'm all for other artists adding their own style or input to a song. I just can help feeling this version is woefully worse than the original and that this version ruins the whole spirit of the song.
