Free Intro


This is the intro to Free by The Zac Brown Band. This is exactly how Zac Brown plays it with the correct tuning. This is played throughout almost the whole song. *The Tuning is Drop Db, partial capo II: (low to high: Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) *6th string is not capoed; place your capo from underneath the neck onto the first 5 strings. This would now make your open strings Db-Bb-Eb-Ab-C-F. If there are any questions or comments, please contact me through my e-mail address: Russ24lucky@aol.com Capo II; first 5 strings only!

A second guitar is getting an F# as a bass note that can be played by placing your thumb over the low Db string at the 5th fret. **(Notice how this is the ACTUAL 5th fret because there is no capo on the 6th string.)
