Follow The Son
Tuning: Standard

Taken from the Hillsong Guitar Workshop with Nigel Hendroff and Timon Klein. It may not
perfect, but it sounds pretty close. Lead should use a delay, rhythm shouldn't.

Intro Riff [Rhythm] - intro/verse
(Really, these are just octaves, not power chords, but I play them as power chords cause 
like the sound a little better with my rig)
