Taylor by Jack Johnson

This is my first tab as i thought this song hasn't been tabbed totaly right yet.
I used the phrase trainer on my Korg AX1500G to slow the intro lick right down 
so i could pick off each note, however even with this there were a few that are 
hard to tell because they are muted.

The bracketed note in the 6th bar i dont think is played but i like the sound of
it anyway so its optional. I have had a decent attempt at the timing aswell to
make it easier.

There are loads of ways to play this song, like some of the other tabs, so just
play whatever feels comfortable (I doubt I would play what i have tabbed for the
chorus if i were singing at the same time!). Thanks to JackJohnsonowns for the
basic tab layout i stole!

If you liked this tab please rate it. Now enjoy this fantastic song!!

Use standard tuning

    h = hammer on
    p = pull off
    X = mute (In the intro do this by slapping your palm accross all stings)
   () = ghost note
    / = slide up
     = slide down
 P.M. = palm muting

Verse

I use these chord shapes for the verse even though i only play the
A D & G strings because its good practice for playing live.

    C               Gsus4            Am              F

  D|2---------------0---------------|2---------------3---------------|
  A|3---------------2---------------|0---------------3---------------|
  E|X---------------X---------------|X---------------X---------------|

The rhythm goes...

Note - 	At the start of the first verse the missing note is filled by
	slapping down on the strings as in the intro.

Chorus

On the video for Taylor, Jack uses bar chords for the chorus but i like to
use the open position chords below. The rhythm that i have tabbed out for the
chorus must be a second guitar layered over the top of the chords

    C               G                Am              F
