RE: Stacks - Bon Iver
DADF#AD
In the case of the high e string in the verse, sometime it is hit, sometimes
Not. The same is true for the b string in the chorus.
Sometimes there are small fills (specifically hammering 0h2 in the third chord
repeatedly before the strum of the chord) and rhythmic differences for flavor.
Those can be injected judiciously. I am just outlining the basic shapes and
sequence of chords. For the rhythm and nuances, you'll have to listen to the vibe.
He uses the bass note in a rhythmic, almost bluegrassy-fashion to punctuate each
chord.

The following chart shows the number of bars to play each of the chords.
All are the same in each verse except the first instance of chord three--
it changes depending on the length of the vocal line and for dramatic
affect.
