My little brother figured this out
"December" - Collective Soul
Transcribed by Dietrich Featherston
I am 13 and have been playing the guitar for a couple of
years now.
I figured this out within 2 or 3 minutes of watching the
music video on MTV.

The bass starts mixing it up as the song goes on, but it's
pretty much just variations on the above.

There is also another guitar doing some dabbling. I've tried to
make the timing accurate, but this is from memory.
