The actual "chords" of Snowfaller only come to life through the
masterful arrangement - guitar ostinato, varying bass notes, guitar
solo playing and "chords" only here and there. It's a great example
for "Sum of the parts". First, I will provide a kind of chordal
framework, so you can play it on your acoustic.

It's absolutely vital to play that last a minor chord...
it's such a nice and yearning twist
I'm doing all kinds of double-guitar imitations when I'm playing
this one, juxtaposing the stuff on the upper strings against the bass
drones, like this for the intro:
2-3-2-3-5-3-5-3
3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x etc.
Make sure to dissolve the descending bits into jangly notes/arpeggi
(just listen to the CD)
