About
A masterpiece doo-wop style a-cappella tune. I like very much how the
bassline in the verse moves against the sweet melody, producing perfect harmony.
Original Key
Eb. No wonder this is a-capella (maybe Billy did not find a bassplayer for that key - haha). Capo on III sounds right.
Tuning
Regular.
Tab Notes
Not a standard fingerpicking tune, still worth trying. I tabbed only baseline and melody, which leaves a lot of space for enrichment, voicings, etc., whatever you want, particularly in the Chorus [A]. The verse [B] - like everything else here - is played "let ring". The arpeggiating bass in the bridge [C] is quite challenging to play (at least for me) when your fingers are used to travis-like picking patterns.
Find someone for the fingersnapping.
P:S: I can HEAR the bass - that was a joke !
