About this song

Michael Hunter's theme for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004). Eiro Nareth's fingerstyle cover with capo 3 (E minor shapes sounding in G minor): thumb bass, melody and thumb slaps through the intro, the theme, the bridge and the groove.

How to play it: A simple folk strum for the chord sheet: down, down-up, (miss), up, down-up, one pattern a bar. The tab itself is fingerpicked; play it from the Guitar Tab view.

Lead: G minor (E minor shapes with capo 3). One chord all the way: the tune moves over a G minor bass (Em shape at capo 3).
