Tune Guitar to CGCFAD

**In order to produce Daron’s sound on this song, I recommend using a Bass Overdrive for your distortion, a volume pedal for the swells, and a wah for the solo**

SOLO: In order to produce the same effect a Daron, use slight wah on
this solo…slight as in barely noticeable, but on the CD if you
listen carefully, you can hear it.
**Hit each chord multiple times** listen to CD for specific timings.

Alternate strings from first finger to third, but play multiple times as again rhythm hard to produce on paper, so listen to CD.
