5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
There's an acoustic guitar playing the melody during the intro/bridges,
as well as palm muted strokes during the verses,
but for a live setup where you only have two electric guitars,
I find this is the easiest way to split it up.
