Tuning: E A D G B E
This is a simple version, not including a lot of the fiinger picking and hammers/pulls that grow
throughout
the song (also on a second guitar in the recording).
It's quite easy to play around with fingerpicking and add some of the basic melody, so just
feel your way around until you find a good way to play it. Maybe someone more
skilled than me can work out more of the actual tune, but for playing it on one guitar I find it ok
just to
play around between the Ds and the Gs, fingerpicking and little fills like:
D G D
e -----2-2------3p2-0--------0-0---0---3p2-0-------2-2-|
B -----3-3------------3------0-0-------------3-----3-3-|
G ---2------2--------------------0---------------2-----|
D -0----------0--------------------------------0-------|
A -------------------------2---------------------------|
E -----------------------3-----------------------------| etc.
I believe he plays a standard G chord except during the fills (as above), where the high e and B strings
are open
