OPEN BOOK - José González Tabbed by: Bas E-mail: bas5432 (at) hotmail (dot) com Tuning: standard Last song from José's latest album, Vestiges & Claws. Unlike most of his songs, this one is in standard tuning. The picking pattern is pretty constant throughout the song and commonly employed, for example in Eddie Vedder's Guaranteed and Tuolomne. However, José adds a lot of little variations and often changes them around when playing live. Therefore, I've decided to just show the basic picking pattern and chords, and leave the rest to you guys. Basic picking pattern: Use four fingers: thumb on A (and E), index on D, middle on G and ring on B (and e) strings.
