5 Successful Artists Who Have Not Made It Big in the US
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
There are 2 guitar parts in this song, its just a second guitar that kind of acts a bass but has its own
moments every now and then, so I this tab has that too. There's only a bass at the very intro and then
the rest of the song its actually just a guitar.
There's also a snyth that comes in every now and then but the "bassist"/2nd guitarist usually
plays that part live.
