------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firstborn - J.Tillman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sander Van Hoof Email: vanhoof.sander@telenet.be Tillman writes simple yet complex songs in terms of rhythm and hammer-on's so I advice you to listen to the song to get both right. When playing the Am he sometimes pulls of to 002030 and hammers back to 002230. He plays the G/C for one beat. This might not be 75% accurate but I've been playing it with the track/youtube recordings etc and I think it sounds great . . . . so cut me some slack.
