[Tip]
* As with most Cast songs, half step down tuning is essential. All notes and chords
stated herein
are related to standard finger placements with this tuning (so not the acutal chords and
notes)
** Song doesnt really have a verse and chorus but Ive named a chorus where you can
change from picking
(see *** to strumming)
*** The whole short song revolves around this finger picking pattern through the intro,
verses and outro.
It basically moving the base note around and picking G and B strings in the Dsus2
position.
Ive listed chords too but its better picking even for beginners like me its quite easy
to pick up just
moving round the root note with a standard picking pattern.
