5 Cheap Guitars That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
Key: G
Tuning: CGDGBD
 
The hardest part will be learning the right hand's plucking + percussion. Every other beat, you will be muting
only the thumb string with a bit of a percussive slap while tapping another string with another finger.
The song opens up looping one bar 4 times. Master this bar with the correct right hand technique and the
rest of the song will follow!
 
I personally like finishing without the whole acoustic outro, but there is a baller tab for that by
Jeff White on Youtube if you want to learn that.
 
s: slap
m: thumb only mute
