ONLY HOPE by SWITCHFOOT Guitar transcription by Nathan Gilera Hayag, RRT Comments, suggestions, corrections & violent reactions... E-mail me at nathanhayag@gmail.com *** I sort of mixed all the strings that I hear and came up with this intro. You'll dig it once you get the hang of it. Listen to the record and you'll get the intro in no time. And oh, sorry if the instrumental sounded awful. I can't hear those bass notes, and i think i kinda fucked up those treble ones as well. Heh.
