On acoustic guitar with metal strings, Use a pick (folk guitar)
So. This song has been in my mind for a while and i learned it like all of us from the
tabs.
But the licks and chords they didn?t feel right. There was some mandolin kind of thin on
guitar
But i just guess it was the 2 guitars and the piano and all that sh*t. I saw a video in
internet
From a dude that recorded Marco playing ut live, i had the chance to see a little bit
i figure out
From there the tuning and fact that the guitar lick has a top line and a bottom line in
high strings.
It aint that hard but it takes time. I hope you like it
