+ Kept Chords :)


Hey guys,
After hearing the new recording of Kept It hit me so hard I had to learn it. This is a very rough chord diagram accomplished in like 30 minutes. But i know we have guitar players on this site that love this info. Remember it may get cyberly messed up so in that case copy and paste into word or notepad, or text edit and change the font to courier new :). That should do it :).

Fell free to criticize and correct if i missed something

Cheers, Trevor Mannion.......


Kept

Matt Nathanson

Modern Love

Capo 7-
I?ve seen it capoed at the 8 once, and when I play it that way it sounds off so I speculate he was tuned a half step down in that video.

This song is all finger picked, and it probably has some order but really just messing around with the picking you can still play the song. I watched a video and tabbed it and it just kind of made sense how to pick the song. The video is linked here.

There are lots of jokes at the beginning. Very funny stuff. I?d watch it, but if you want the song fast forward through it.

Intro

e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|2?-5/4--------------------------------------------------------|
A|2--2----------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Sometimes, Matt just leaves does an open pick as well to where he just picks open strings. When he does it?s in this part and it is very suddle.

Breakdown

e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|222-000-333-000-2p0-2p0---------------------------------------|
E|000-000-000-000-000-000---------------------------------------|

Tabbed this as best I could and it sounds right, but sometimes it sounds different.

Em- is EM7- 022033
G- Is G- 320033
cadd9- is cadd9- 032033
d- is d- 000232-
Bm- is bm power chord- 024000-
but when picked in the chorus
Matt leaves the B string fretted at 3 an picks it as well. This is the hardest part of the song for me.
-024030-

Intro

When matt plays the D at "heart" he plays it and then hits the 3rd fret on the high E string. Then releases back to a D and says "my heart" then kick into.
