Exist

I am trying to learn the slow clean section of exist ive tried looking at different tabs and the live performance it's very difficult to track the chords does anyone have a lead I can go to?

Bar 311, and the "Rhythm Guitar 2 (Clean). It's transcribed for a drop D guitar, but I would virtually guarantee it was played and recorded in standard tuning, because it definitely lays better that way, so transpose the bottom string a whole step (6th fret becomes 4th, etc) and you're golden. I played through it and it's pretty solid.

As with most acoustic parts, start by getting the chords and strumming pattern under your fingers where you can play along to the part of the song. From there, you can filter in the embellishments to whatever degree you wish.

Basically, it starts with

Bb, Am, Bb, Am, Dm, Am, Dm, Am

The pre-chorus has some interesting shapes (here's where 4 instead of 6 comes in), then the chorus is

F, Am, F, Am (Bb, F) C, Em, Am, Em, Dm, G, F, Am

Okay thank you this is where my confusion came in. I didn't realize it was transcribed for drop d. Thank you!

Definitely get Ultimate Guitar Pro. I have benefitted from it so much, and actually have looked at their official tab for Exist, which seems accurate enough.
