I'm waiting on the day
For the outro of the studio version you essentially play improve on a D chord and
alternate between three bass notes (first being Open D, Second being 3nd fret of
Open A and third being 2nd fret of Open A). Play around with that and tweak it to
whichever way suits you. Open for suggestions @ bendavidkremer@...gmail.com (m us
the ...) - I've purposefully "dumbed down" the song so that beginners etc would be
able to give it a crack.
Cheers,
