Post by UNCcrombie »

Code: Select all

E:----------
B:----------
G:----------
D:-2--4/5--
A:-2--4/5--
D:-2--4/5--
any tips? any way i try and play it sounds totally wrong. do you strum the 2's and then hit the 4's real quick and slide?

i usually play an extra (444) in between the (222) and the (444/555) - I think it sounds nicer, but thats just my opinion i guess

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": Do you use this word? Alcoves?
