Still Im alone Im alone Im alone Im alone Im alone Im alone Im alone
[Verse 2]
For the second verse & chorus I like to start reducing the picking of individual notes and include more
staccato stabbing at the chord shapes. It may well be that the notes are all still picked seperately &
there is just more gain & delay on the guitar sound making each note less distinct.
Have a listen and see what you prefer.

[Chorus 2]
For the second chorus I like to eliminate individual note picking entirely & just play the chord shapes
staccato.

[Middle]
Heavy distortion.
If you dont like playing the picking patterns you can just play power chords - still sounds good & is fun to
play along with.
