Artist: The Long Winters
Song: Cinnamon
Tabbed by: John Roderick
:
"Cinnamon is really easy, although I play it with a Capo on the first fret.
So to play along with the record everything is a sharp.
G D C through the whole song with an Em in the second and last chorus."
INTRO:
"G chord shape, then the first finger moves from its perch on the 2nd fret
of the a string and does hammers-on/off on the G and D strings. Switch to
D chord, then the middle finger leaves the second fret high-E string to
hammer-on/off on the third fret of the D and A strings, respectively.
Then C chord, and again the middle finger leaves the 2nd fret D string and
hammers on/off the 2nd fret G string. While all this hammering on and
off is taking place the rest of the fingers maintain the remaining chord
shape."
