Subject: CRD: Porcelain by Better than Ezra

PORCELAIN by BETTER THAN EZRA

off the album DELUXE

transcription by Scott Josselyn (sjosselyn@aol.com)

This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the rhythm and

flourishes. In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate,

they sometimes use Cadd4 as a passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages

between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also

like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also

some bass hammer-on played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't

figure out.

CAPO 1ST FRET !!!
