  6. Lifehouse Tale tab
    Tae

    The intro and the verses are the same. Which are….

    Dsus2 Emin/2 G
    e x 0 3
    a x 2 2
    d 0 2 0
    g 2 0 0
    b 3 3 3
    e 0 0 0

    I’m not really sure about the labeling of these chords but I’ll draw the tab so you can follow them.

    Here is the chorus

    F/A G/A Bb C2 Dsus2
    E 0 0 x 0 x
    a 0 0 1 3 x
    d 3 5 x 2 0
    g 2 4 3 0 2
    b 1 3 3 3 3
    e 0 0 0 0 0
    "And the waves….
    F/A G/A Emin7 F#/D G A
    E 0 0 0 2 3 0
    a 0 0 2 0 2 0
    d 3 5 2 0 0 2
    g 2 4 0 2 0 2
    b 1 3 3 3 3 2
    e 0 0 0 0 0 0
    "And the winds …"

    The Chorus is played and then just goback to the beginning. Hope this helps.

  9. The Lucky One
    Jim

    I just saw AKUS in Boston and I’m definitely no tab writing expert, I think it looked like Dan was playing rythm on this song with a capo on the 3rd fret. I tried this when I got home to Houston and alongside the recording it’s mostly a G, D, C chord breakdown. I haven’t yet figured out the bridges, but it may have an A in there somewhere.
    Haven’t picked out Ron’s part though.
    Anybody else have any "Luck" with this one?

  15. Nickel Creek tabs you wanna share?
    Kim

    Hi guys! If anyone has any Nickel Creek tabs, especially "The Hand Song", I’d love to get them. Wanna share? I’d appreciate it! Thanks! Kim

    1. Re: Nickel Creek tabs you wanna share?
      RT

      Kim, I have some of it

      Try a capo on fret 4.

      Start with a regular D chord, pull and hammer the A# note.
      Keep you finger on the middle note of the D chord and go to a G chord. The do a basic B minor barr chord, like sliding the Aminor up, the go to a regular A chord without the bottom note. That is the basic line. I am working on the other part just got the CD a few days ago.

      THe other parts are Em, D with your thumb holding the F# base, and there is anther chord in there I have to pick up.

      It is a wonderful song. Let me know if you figure out more, I will post it as I figure it out.

      Good luck

      You can get chris’s instructional videos and tab for his solo releases…check sugarhill records website. These will greatly improve your playing and understanding of the mandolin as well as music theory in general

        1. I started listening to this song….As far as I can tell it’s in D. The first chord is is Dsus2 that is picked out by the guitar…that continues for a while…then he hits an Em…then an F# and G (te F# and G are just single bass notes)…Then he plays the Dsus2 and hits aan (A B and D…bassnotes)
          I’ll actually try to listen to it completely and figure out a tab…but i hope that helps
