Artist: Jason Mraz Song: Love Someone Album: YES! Notes*: -Jason Mraz plays this song in drop D tuning. When I play it myself I like to keep my guitar in standard tuning -In a live video it looks like Mraz is alternating from an maj7 (F#) to A perfect 8th (G)on the D string when he plays a Gmaj7. At least in the Chorus of the song.
-In another live video I saw and in the official audio release it sounds like he's playing an open E on the high E-string (A Dsus2 chord) on the first and third beat and and then right away on the "and" of 1 and 3 (the offbeats) he goes back to playing an F# on the E-string. (going back to a D major chord) -Here's the official audio release: Youtube Link: http://youtu.be/a5LsjYPPgEk -Chord Sheet at the bottom of the page Chord - E A D G B E | D A D G B E D - X X 0 2 3 2 | 0 0 0 2 3 2 Gmaj7 - 3 5 4 0 3 X | 5 5 4 0 3 X A - X 0 2 2 2 X | X 0 2 2 2 X Asus4 - X 0 2 2 3 X | X 0 2 2 3 X Aadd9 - X 0 2 4 2 X | X 0 2 4 2 X Bm - X 2 4 4 3 2 | X 2 4 4 3 X Intro: D ?
