Notes and directives:
- Get a piano :-) ! It's written for it, and it sounds so great... anyhow,
whether you're playing it on a piano or on a guitar, make sure you play
the highest note in the chord as it is shown in the chord diagrams, so
the "main theme's main theme" will be stressed. Literally: the notes of
the main theme are: Gb, Gb, Ab, F, Eb, Gb.
- To play the main theme, first play the two preceding bass notes, then add
the rest of the chord, plucking it with fingers 2, 3 & 4.
- The Gbmaj7 fingering I'm suggesting is somewhat in human, but this it what
you have to do: position you hand with barre on 2nd, fingers 2 & 3 on a
regular Gb7 position, and extend your pinky to the 6th fret on string 2.
Play the two bass notes, then lower finger 3 to the 4th fret and play the
rest of the chord.
Opening/Chorus:
