Again, I'm new at this, any comments or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. It's a pretty easy song, and this sounds close.
Guitar I- acoustic
Guitar II- clean electric
This part is the opening acoustic strum and is played through most of the
verses. Really let the open strings ring, that's what gives it such a great
sound.
Rythym figure 1.
