Correct tuning for sons of anarchy theme song, "This Life" by Curtis Stigers and the Forest Rangers. I kinda just did this on the spot so I didn't know the parts real well yet, so ignore the hiccups on a couple parts that I jumbled a riff and lyrics.
damn you have a great singing voice. I can play the guitar part but sounds more like that straight-flying crow....

@MrSteef80 haha thanks... i missed some notes though, its a bit rough cuz i was focusing on remembering the lyrics and guitar part... i only knew the lyrics that are in the show intro, and JUST figured out how to play it.... but thanks for the kind words XD

!!!!!!very good!!!! There is one other lesson online kinda confused by his, and it sounds to me like even though there is a small slide part in it, most of the lead lick depends on a wahwah pedal or am i wrong...

@rummijo thanks, i just took a stab at it, i plan to redo it better and figure out more, but its VERY difficult with 1 acoustic and no one else to play other parts with you haha....
There is def a few little lead licks with a slide and such, but as far as the chorus, the wah is more a background track, the main guitar just has a good amped tone. But having the 2 together is pretty critical to the song. The original is recorded and mixed very well.

@rummijo The original has 3 tracks in the chorus (or prechorus maybe "the crow flies straight" part). There is the rhythm, a lead riff, and then lead riff with wah. What I tried to do is blend them to keep it sounding full. Playing just the lead riff drops the bottom of the song out quite a bit, and playing just the rhythm just feels likes it's missing something. Then the next part, ("life is short, thats a fact") I mixed in the bass line in cuz that is what carries it, along with a lil slide.
