"Because I Love You" - Masters Apprentices
Tabbed by Daniel Schaumann <dschaumann@hotmail.com>
(Check out my web page at "www.geocities.com/d_schaumann/" for more
tablature / chord charts transcribed by myself.)
Okay, it might be a bit old but it's still /\ /\
a damn good song. I've even managed to make / \ / \
the Masters Apprentices logo, if you're / \ \
wondering what the thing on the side is... / / \ \
But anyway, it's a damn good song to play / / \ \
and it has a ripper of an intro, which is / / \ \
the whole reason why I'm tabbing it out. / /_______\ \
It is actually played on a 12 string guitar, but I've designed this
transcription for a 6. It'll still sound good on a 12 string, but
there may need to be a few position changes because of the octave
higher strings.
For the main riff, I find it's best to use the pick between your thumb
& index finger for the A string and use your middle & ring fingers to
pluck the two other strings. Alternatively, you don't have to use a
pick at all, but it does help with the strumming during the chorus.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MASTERS APPRENTICES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
