Lover Of The Light Tab

Tabbed by Tom van den Bergh
 
This is a great song, and it's a shame that its not tabbed correctly anywhere. The key
to that Mumford & Sons
sound, is an open tuning that allows you to play "drone" notes . They use a bunch of
tunings in their songs,
but this particular one is in Open D.
 
Tuning: DADF#AD
 
Listen closely for the rhythm cause it can be a bit tricky, and the finger placement may
need a little practice,
but it's not that hard.
 
Artist: Mumford & Sons
 Song:  Lover of the Light

middle and ring finger, so press down on the frets and dampen the strings below it with
those two fingers.
