5 Hollywood Actors Who Are Into Metal
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
Tuning low to high: D B D F# B D
 
Tune down all of your strings, except for the 5th (A string) which will be tuned up a full step.
 
The intro of the song is played fingerstyle, while the rest is strummed. The fingerpicking is fluid, and
I'm sure what I play isn't exactly what Julie plays. But I think it's a good sketch of it. Mess around with
it and find what works for you.

The verses are all played the same way, all with one down strum for each chord. Verse 2 and 3 are played just
like verse 1, but the strumming pattern is played twice.

The chorus is strummed using the same chords as the intro, and is played the same every time,
though the lyrics change.
 
Just like the intro, the chords are played in the same order twice.
 
I play the chords as DD-UU-DU. For the second part of the chorus where the 2 chords are played for
half a bar, I play DDU, then back to DD-UU-DU for the last full bar.
 
Usually when she strums up you can hear the high D string being played.
