NotesBeta

To learn Adam Matta - West End Blues chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: G, Em, Eb, G, Gm, G, Bb and G. A strategic approach would be to train at 67 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 135. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: G Minor.
