5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
SPECIAL TUNING : DADabe
6th string down to D AND 3nd string up to “a”
 
Based on : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hloj_8D55sQ
 
Beat : 4/4 => Beat should fall on the notes marked with a ^ . Create a “Delta blues" vibe while playing!
 
Picking : This is played with a pick. Some parts ask you to hit the lower string with your pick while
plucking the 1st string with your ring finger (See bridge section).
You can also opt for fingerstyle (which I do)
 
[Shoot] : For example:[Shoot(2)/7] in the INTRO. This means hitting the string while your finger is on
the 2nd fret but quickly sliding your finger up to the 7th fret, so fast that you do not hear the note on
the 2nd fret. You only hear a “shooting” effect preceding the note on the 7th fret.
This is done various times, sliding upward or downward
 
Vibratio : Example : 3~~ Bending down the string on the fretboard and then releasing: Duration and
number of bends according to audio
