Let's Get Lost–Elliott Smith
Tuning: Standard, Capo 5th fret
This lovely ditty needed a tab displaying all the finger picking. He plays the
bass notes pretty lightly in this song and they often come off as more rhythmic than
melodic-it often sounds like a slight pitter patter underneath the melody.
