Little White Dove by Jess Klein "Little White Dove" (Jess Klein) (use capo on 1st fret - Eb) Tabbed by Gene (starwares@aol.com) - 11/11/02 (Corrections encouraged) Song is in Eb – use capo on 1st fret Low E string is tuned down to a D If you use the dropped tuning the G chord is played like this: G E--4-- B--4-- G--1-- D--1-- A--6-- E--6-- This is really a Gsus (that's the way Jess plays it). Personally I prefer to use normal tuning and play a regular G. It's easier and I think it sounds better. The downside is you can't use the open bass strings for bass. This does give it a certain "full" sound especially in the break part. If you use normal tuning play the bass accordingly and mute the low E in the break part. This tab assumes you're using the drop tuning. This is one way to play the main rhythm riff using all the bass strings: Play it the way you feel it and have fun.
