"Little White Dove" (Jess Klein)
(use capo on 1st fret - Eb)
Tabbed by Gene (starwares@aol.com) - 11/11/02 (Corrections encouraged)
Song is in Ebuse capo on 1st fret
Low E string is tuned down to a D
If you use the dropped tuning the G chord is played like this:
[G]
[E--4--]
[B--4--]
[G--1--]
[D--1--]
[A--6--]
[E--6--]
This is really a Gsus (that's the way Jess plays it).
Personally I prefer to use normal tuning and play a regular G.
It's easier and I think it sounds better.
The downside is you can't use the open bass strings for bass.
This does give it a certain "full" sound especially in the break part.
If you use normal tuning play the bass accordingly and mute the low E in the
break part. This tab assumes you're using the drop tuning.
This is one way to play the main rhythm riff using all the bass strings:
Play it the way you feel it and have fun.
