*** No tab in the world will tell you much about how to play this twiddle.
I got the mechanics down...now you have to get the dynamics down. Finger
the A chord like this :
--|---------
--|--r------ ring finger
--|--i------ index finger
--|--m------ middle finger
--|---------
--|---------
2
and use your thumb to play the F# on the low E string <the big fat one>.
otherwise the rest of the rhythm is simple. The twiddle is played only
some of the time...it'll be obvious when.
*** I think the electric part is the same chords only played with a chorus
effect...I donno...I'm not an electric person.
