Hey guys and gals.

I have a question. I need some "Tabs" or better the chords for argiers, but I can't find some. It's not easy to guess wich chords Mike is playing, just by listening. Maybe some of you might be better than me, in that kind of stuff.

I can't say it for shure, but maybe (I can only guess) he uses some kind of open tune. Obviously there is a mandoline in there, too. That makes it even harder to say, what he's playing exactly.

Maybe you can help me. I hope so.
Thx in advance.

I'm not familiar with tabs, but Argeris is basically an A minor chord that slides up to the third fret. From there, you have a choice of sliding back down to the first fret A minor, or sliding up to a chord which I don't know the name of heh. Basically, barring the three top strings at the fifth fret--a variation of A minor. Right before change, there's a held F suspended, I think? Basically make an F chord but leave the top string open.

The middle part, when it gets 'happy' is a held G chord, D minor followed by A minor then G and back to the sliding A minor thingie.

Phew. Sounds much more confusing than it is put that way  :D Hopefully it helps a little.

Julie.
