Feel
Notes: The E, A, and B in the chorus are played as bar chords.
All other chords are played in unique Hayden style which I can best
approximate by laying my finger across the actual fret directly
past where it would be played if it were a bar chord. Make sure
the bass rote is clear, the other strings will have a kind of
muffled sound which is similar to the way it sounds on the album or
live. I'm too lazy to tune my guitar down - it sounds fine played
in normal tuning.
I'm a big fan of Hayden's stuff, and would love it if some one
posted anything else by him. Or let me know if you use this.
