5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D GTecla: CCapotraste: Sem capotraste
On the album this is played on an upright, so getting the right tone is a bit tricky.
A fretless helps a lot but it's still not quite there.
There might be some variations in there a little bit, but tabbing a line this jazzy is kinda
tough to hit everything perfectly.
