5 Cheap Guitars That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: 5th traste
It's simpler than it all looks, and none of the fingering should be too out-there.
When playing the three sections the first time, emphasise the basic melody by softening the rhythm
notes and leaving out some of the pulloffs and walkdowns/walkups. Then on the second run through, make it
sound a bit fuller.
