Intro
The tabs below are laid out in what I feel is the easiest for
everyone to interpret for lesson purposes.... The tabs below are here
strictly for you to know the song's parts.. The bigger picture is the
real lesson... The bigger picture is how all of these parts work
together to give a certain sound... For best lesson results learn all
of the parts... And try to play along and be all of the parts as
well...
//// =
strummed hits... separated by feel

*Strummed
patters laid out are the basic idea... Slight embellishment or variances
may occur on the mp3 song portion of this lesson.
**CAPO Goes on the 2nd fret
for the remainder of the acoustic parts...
NOTE:
Open strings assume a capo on the 2nd fret... All
other frets are as the number indicates.. In other words if it says "5" it
means the actual 5th fret of the guitar...

part that's over the capo'ed chord strumming above...

Volume Swells.. This technique involves doing hammer ons as you swell
the volume knob up.. Producing a Keyboard like tone... Ideally
compression helps with it.. I didn't bother hooking one up...
Also you may use a volume pedal if you have one..

Chorus part
There are actually 6 things going on with this part, but only 3 main guitar
parts that need tabbing.. The others are filler and depth elements that
I'll cover on the video lesson...
Note acoustic isn't tabbed here because it just follows the chords of Electric
guitar 1 doing a strumming pattern similar to what we opened the song with and
that's done during the Verse parts... See video for help...
