Tuning: EADGBd
 
 
Classic from the Deguello album.
 
The secret of this song is, tune the high E string down to D.
 
 
 
Intro & Verse:
 
Don't forget to tune the high 'E' string down to 'D' or it won't sound right!

This part requires a hybrid picking technique.  Billy picks the 6th string with the pick
and the 4th string with his finger simultaneously, Then the 5th and 3rd, quite tricky.
