Masters Apprentices - Because I Love You guitar tab
"Because I Love You" - Masters Apprentices
Tabbed by Daniel Schaumann
(Check out my web page at "www.geocities.com/d_schaumann/" for more
tablature / chord charts transcribed by myself.)
Okay, it might be a bit old but it's still /\ /\
a damn good song. I've even managed to make / \ / \
the Masters Apprentices logo, if you're / \ \
wondering what the thing on the side is... / / \ \
But anyway, it's a damn good song to play / / \ \
and it has a ripper of an intro, which is / / \ \
the whole reason why I'm tabbing it out. / /_______\ \
It is actually played on a 12 string guitar, but I've designed this
transcription for a 6. It'll still sound good on a 12 string, but
there may need to be a few position changes because of the octave
higher strings.
For the main riff, I find it's best to use the pick between your thumb
& index finger for the A string and use your middle & ring fingers to
pluck the two other strings. Alternatively, you don't have to use a
pick at all, but it does help with the strumming during the chorus.
