Yeah i don't really know what to call this. but it's simply me playing along to my own recorded backing (chords are from my speakers and melody is "live"..). I know it's nothing "special" at all, anyone could probably do it, but i just thought it'd be a nice idea to upload something of "my own" instead of just live-videos.

and oh yeah, my camera could only record 30 seconds, god knows why, but i think short vids like these are better anyways. People would never watch the whole video if i uploaded a 3 minute one. haha!

Here are the tabs;


Backingchords: B, E, Em (I play them in "E, A, Am" shapes, but with barré/capo on the 7th fret (; )

Melody:

e |--------------------------------------------------|
B |-7-9-9-7-7---------9-9-9-7-7--------------|
G |--------------8-8-8--------------8-8-8-------|

^This one you just play for repeat until the special thing starts; (the one that indicates the live version, at 0:20 in my video)

e |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­----|
B |-7-9~-7~------------7---------7-9-7-9-9^-7---------7-9-9-9-9-9-7----|
G |-------------8~-6-8-----8-6-8------------------8-6-8--------------------8-|

(~)-sign means hold (as you can hear if you listen to the video)
(^)-sign means bend (also, as you can hear in the video.)

And then you play this "main" thing again, 1 time;

e |--------------------------------------------------|
B |-7-9-9-7-7---------9-9-9-7-7--------------|
G |--------------8-8-8--------------8-8-8-------|

and then you end it like this;

e |----------------------------------------------------------|
B |-7-9-9-7-7-----------------7-7----------------------|
G |--------------8-8-6-6-8-8-------8-8-6-6-4~------|


Just listen to the video to figure out the strumming pattern, and same things with the melody, i wrote them note for note EXACLY the way i play them in this specific video :) Hope it'll help if there are anyone of you guys who wants to learn how to play this! :)
