It also may sound better if instead of playing this: |-8/10-10-8-7-5-| |---------------| |---------------| |---------------| |---------------| |---------------| ...You play this: |------10--8--7--5--| |-------------------| |-/11------9--7--5--| |-------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------|
This song is actually played on three guitars, but I condensed it into one.
