This is a fingerstyle version of the song Fast Car by Tracey Chapman. I based the fingerstyle version

by watching Igor Presnyakov's arrangement.

Igor is playing with a half step down and a capo on the second fret.. but you can also play it with

standard tuning and the capo on 1 fret.

Tracey is playing with standard tuning and capo on the second fret

E flat (D#)

A flat (G#)

D flat (C#) ( In case you want to see the tuning with half a step down )

G flat (F#)

B flat (A#)

E flat (D#)

I have a cover of this fingerstyle tab on Youtube so check that out and see how it sounds like and play along.

Give it a like and subscribe if you want, thank you! :)

And then it continues with half of the intro again following the third verse.
