5 Successful Artists Who Have Not Made It Big in the US
Capotraste: Sem capotraste
This is a fun fingerstyle version of When You Sleep based off of the ilyfrankh
cover on youtube: https://youtu.be/1waGWoEe0i8
Can't say it's completely accurate to the cover but I think it sounds pretty similar.
TUNING: CGDBCD
The tuning is kind of insane, however if you wanna tune down a full step from that
to prevent your 3rd string from breaking and put a capo on 2, that works.
