Big Sur

This is my version of Big Sur from the Thrills album "So much for the city"

I've stolen a couple of bits from the previous version and obviously added 
in a few guitar bits too. The picking pattern from the intro is pretty much
maintained during most of the verses but usually with an open top string, play
around and see what you like the sound of. I don't think the opening Dsus2 is 
strictly right but its the best I could figure out in the 15 mins I've spent on
this. 

I hope you enjoy this, its my first posting so any comments please send to 
ian_22_edinburgh@yahoo.no.spam.com. Obviously miss out the no spam part, thats
just to cut down on junk mail.
