5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: D A D F# A DTecla: DCapotraste: Sem capotraste
There are three guitars in some of the instrumental parts of the song,
but it's pretty hard to distinguish what each guitar is playing, and it works well enough on two guitars.
For the instrumental parts, I've tabbed what I can hear from guitar 2,
and skipped the plinky parts from guitar 3.
But you can also just mess around with anything on the D major scale.
