View Guitar Chords for The flood acoustic - chords ver. 1
This is a rather tricky song for a beginner with some odd chord changes that will be difficult but stick with it it is a hell of a song to play and pull off live. Thoughts for performance: 1) Its an uptempo song, play it moderately fast 2) During the halftime feel parts (i.e You're feeling numb, from all that has become.) play the chord 4 times on the upbeat it sounds close to the song and it adds a bit of interest to a repetative song. 3) There are easier ways to play those chords I just like the jazzier and not as full sound that the half muted chords have, play to taste 4) Follow the singer, this is a lyrically driven song so do your best to follow the singer Capo 3 is truer to the song since it was written on a guitar in drop c but feel free to move it around to match your voice.
