Drop only the E string to a C for the deep open note in the intro.
Mute the top string during the chords or it won't sound right.
This is 100% right. Please rate.
Intro
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------1/2-0------------1/2-0------------1/2-0-------------1/2-0------|
C|--2-2-------7-7----2-2-------7-0----2-2-------7-7/9---2-2-------7-7--|
NOTE: must mute top string (C) with your thumb during strumming, otherwise,
it won't quite sound right. Aldean may not have had this problem assuming
he uses a rhythm guitar for chords during the song. When playing solo,
this technique will suffice.
