The State of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphy's
----------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: PakistaniEagle77
Tuning: Standard
Alright, I have the banjo part arranged for a guitar, the best way to get a banjo-like
is to pick close to the bridge on an acoustic guitar, and maybe dampen the strings at the
with a cloth or something along those lines. I have the Electrics capo V, which is
they are in the recordings (DKM uses open chords almost exclusively). The banjo parts
however, not written in relation to the capo.
