JOHNSON ERIC - "manhattan" Tablature
Official JOHNSON ERIC Tablature & Sheet Music »
ERIC JOHNSON/ALBUM, 'VENUS ISLE', 'MANHATTAN'
Firstly, put this all in a font with homogenous spacing, like Courier.
I'm pretty sure Eric tuned down a half step and played this in Em.
Anyway, that's how I've done it here which makes a few of the chords
more playable ( at least the way I've transcribed it- email me with any
alternative suggestions.)
Use a clean sound, neck pickup, some reverb etc.
Also, if anybody has some input on that harp arpeggio around 1:10, please advise.

*I have no idea how you'd finger this
but it sounds like an DMAJ in 17pos. Try
hitting a one octave harm. on the D string.
