Standard Tuning
Chords sound right when played along with the song. I sometimes omit playing the F# note
in the D chord (3rd fret, high E string), and let the open E note ring.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
Also a quick note on the A/E chord. I don't want to confuse any beginner players, but
this is essentially played:
A/E
E|-----
B|--2--
G|--2--
D|--2--
A|-----
E|--0--
but only necessary when finger-picking.
The ending solo was tabbed using my classical guitar, some of those slides could easily
be played as bends also, listen to the song to refine the solo.
