Fools Wisdom


This version is in the key of E (standard tuning), with some funky chord shapes. The E is Phil's traditional version, using the index finger to barre the 2nd fret on the 4th and 5th strings and the pinky pressing the 4th fret on the 3rd string. E/G# is that chord but also hitting the 4th fret on the 6th string. The Asus4 uses the 5th fret on the 5th string, 7th fret on the 4th string and the 9th fret on the 3rd string. The C#sus2 is the Asus4 shape moved down one fret.
