Performance Notes

Lead Guitar Solo: This is a fun arrangement. It is also simplified slightly by the hammer-ons that are scattered about. When I am playing the chords in this arrangement, I only use one finger for the “G” chords and two fingers for the “C” chords. Only strum the first 4 strings.

Performance Notes

Rhythm Guitar: This should not be too hard to get under your belt. In most areas you only have the first 4 strings written in for the chord even though I am really holding the entire chord. I just don’t usually strum the entire chord through. When you strum all six strings it sounds too much like you are trying too hard. Lightly strumming the 1st four strings is usually enough. Memorize the bass walks that connect the chords for future use and ease.
