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)
