Oh Whiskey by Jimi Goodwin
Oh Whiskey
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
Chords in standard tuning:
G = 320033 Bm = x24432 G = 32000x
C = x32010 Am/E = xx2210 Gsus2 = 32020x
Gmaj7 = x20032 Asus2 = x02200 A5#11 = x0224x
Am11 = x02030 D = xx0232 A5 = x02255
A = x02220 Dsus2 = xx0230 Esus4 = 022200
Am = x02210 Csus2 = x30030
In the 2nd half of the song the major / sixth / maj7 progression
is suggested by the vocals and arrangement, but the guitars
just alternate between an A major to Asus2.
I prefer to play the progression...
A = x02220
A6 = x02222
Amaj7 = x02224
Jimi Goodwin plays his acoustic guitar left-handed in open E Tuning:
This is the open tuning shown for right-handed players:
6 5 4 3 2 1
E -B -E -G# -B -E
5th string up to B
4th string up to E
3rd string up to G#
Then Jimi adds a CAPO at the 3rd fret, to bring the open strings up
to G major.
Chords named as they sound with the open tuning and the capo on:
G = 000000 Am = xx2122
C = 555555 D = 777777
Gmaj7 = 044300 A5#11 = 222422
Am11 = 022100 A5 = 222522
A = 222222 E4 = x22022
Bm = x44004
In the 2nd half of the song, from the 4 bars of A onwards,
Jimi just plays barred A, C, D and G major chords, apart from the coda
where he adds descending and ascending notes to the A chord
on the 3rd string.
