Palmyra by Houndmouth
Watched some live videos to learn this. Simple song, but can add complexity with hammering on/off through out
the song.
The guitarist for the band keeps his guitar 1/2 step down. SO to play with the record you'd have to drop your
tuning. I typically play standard tuning though.
