Tuning: Standard s=slide to After discovering The Royal Sons, I instantly fell in love with their music and that led me to want to play it. And after talking to their lead guitarist, Grant Jensen, he was kind enough to show me how to play one of my favorite songs of theirs: Through and Through. Throughout the song there is a lot of sliding, and you want to include the rough sound of your finger sliding across the low E string just like in the recording. In each verse, Grant mutes the A-string just in case it is strummed, but this is not completely necessary. It is easiest to pluck the low E string with your thumb, then pluck the G string with your middle finger, and lastly pluck the open D string with your index finger. This next section may or may not be helpful for you; I made it for people wanting to practice all of the patterns/chords before learning the song or just to get better and more comfortable with them if they want to.
