Shawn Mcdonald - All I Need guitar chord

Shawn McDonald

"All I Need"

©2004 Sparrow Records

Every two lines of lyrics goes through this progression (keep it going through

the rap):

Capo 3

E E/A B E/A

(repeat forever!!!)

--------

Capo 3

(relative to the capo)

E (E or A) B

e 0 0 0 0

b 0 0 0 0

g 9 8 8 6

d 9 9 9 7

a 7 7 9 7

E 0 0 7 5

--------

Start learning by strumming once, then slapping. Pick up the in-between strums

as you pick up on the strum pattern/rhythm.

I was playing the song and realized the second E sounded like an A, so I added

the option for you guys to choose from because the A sounds just as good as the

E but it makes it easier to go into the B. So choose which chord you'll use.

While strumming, you only need to hit the a, d, and g strings, but I think it

doesn't sound bad to add the other strings here and there as well, so mute them

if you want.

Another method: (not played on the album, but still plays well with it)

Capo 5

D A G A

(repeat forever!!!)

----

Capo 5

(relative to capo)

D A G

e 2 0 0

b 3 3 3

g 2 2 0

d 0 2 0

a 0 0 2

E x x 3

----

For this progression don't worry about muting anything, because honestly, it

sounds better when most of the strings are hit. But make sure, if any, you hit

the a, d, and g strings.

Try it out, it sounds good!

Disclaimer: I don't know the technical names of the chords, but the tabs are

correct.

I wanted to submit this song because the other tabs using these chords do a bad

job of clearly presenting the tabs. I also have more tips on here. So it would

probably benefit this community to add this tab (or replace the other tabs with

this one) because I was having a rough time figuring out the tabs that are

currently available, even though its such a simple song.
