Playing Notes - the bulk of the chords are very easy and straightfoward so the main things for getting
the sound correct is the distinctive opening chord and the barre chord slide at the end of the chorus
later on in the song - adding both these in really makes a difference.
 
The riff at the N.C. part really adds to the song as well if you can manage it also
