After downloading dozens of songs from the OLGA,I guess I should 'repay'
with my first transcription.Since I am only a beginner,please don't put
any blame on me on the song's accuracy.
The standard tuning sounds ok to me.However,you can always tune down
accordingly to the CD.
This song is a pretty simple song,which uses 3 guitars;2 of them are either
electro-acoustic or acoustic while the other is an electric guitar.
This emotional song is dedicated to those in love out there.Hope you guys
enjoy playing it!
