Great tab. He usually plays it on the the first 5 frets, but you have all the notes right. Thanks alot!
sounds like it should be
along with the part after that going up to
this is how I play that part
and there's something missing before the outro but I just can't figure it out. Should I be playing bridge 2 until the outro? I've been doing that and it sounds close. This is a great tab though. 5 stars!
Great tab, much appreciated.
