Standard Tuning - Capo 3rd Fret
Basically I just finger pick the chords until the chorus, which I strum,
in the actually song there are two guitars one is picking individual notes,
the other strumming. I think it sounds pretty good throughout if you pick
bass note with your thumb and and alternate to the 4th and 5th strings like:
e
b 0 0 1 1
g 0 0 2 2
d
a 0 0
E 3 3
Chords used:
G: 320003
Am: x02210
C: x32010
D/F*: x5306x
F: 1332xx
