Chords for We're An American Band - Grand Funk - Guitar Cover Lesson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey gang, you're rock doctor.
Dr.
Rock are gonna do we're an American band by Grand Funk Railroad
_ _ Couple performance notes here.
Okay about what I'm fixing to do
_ _ I'm playing along with a backing track that I got off the internet.
I forget which
website but
_ _ The backing track is actually recorded a half step flat
So I'm not in standard tuning.
I'm in
D-sharp tuning or E flat tuning although the
_ Studio recording is actually recorded in standard tuning.
All right, so this is a little bit different than what the actual records recorded to
_ I'm gonna change things up a little bit from what Farner does.
I've seen him play this live
All the notes would be pretty much the same one notable thing is this
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ This bit
_ [B] _ _ The [N] bass player actually does that but I'm gonna go ahead and throw that in even though I know the guitar part doesn't actually do that
And I change up the positions a little bit for reasons that I'll explain in the lessons, so let's go ahead and play it
