this song is the reason i started playing guitar lol my stepdad bet me i couldnt play this song (which i still cant -_-) i tried for months and months

[saffronboots]

@HerCorpseReanimates This is the song that introduced me to an altered tuning. Hope you return to practicing this tune so you can win the bet!

I'm pretty sure I've accounted for at least 100 of these views. Oh, and I'll put money on it that the one dislike you have is from some dude who's been struggling with this song for years.

@HailCostanza Haters gonna hate.

[jonnyasprin]

Heh,I got the first harmonic part down,now for the rest of it.

[saffronboots]

[vtknight777]

Wow. Not only do you play it well - you have your own vibe to it without disrupting the song. Most impressive.

[GreenAshR47]

Great job & technique - one of the best I've seen so far. I'm nowhere close.
