What acoustic is that? Great tutorial by the way. Saw them in concert in Decatur, Ga not too long ago, and it was the best concert i've been to.

Do you have tabs for this? The main part is easy, but I can't tell quite what shapes you used in the variations - Thanks

@ngarbutt242 sadly i don't..i know i sometimes fly over things to keep the vids shorter but in terms of most of the variations i don't always play it note for note.  Use some freedom in making a few of your own variations since it'll still sound right as long as you have the right chord.

@AlpineSessions the bass line is important in this though...just use your ear and follow along with it.

what did you tune your strings to?

[AlpineSessions]

@KorntotheBrown it's actually standard tuning
