This is played with a single 6-string electric guitar with standard
(EADGBE) tuning. This took me a little while to learn, so I figured I
would share this on OLGA. This tablature is my own work and the work
of the original poster, it may be distributed freely. I have merely
expanded on the original post. I've included more detail of the song.
Guitar Setup:
Use the neck pickups to get a warm a sound as you can. If you have
chorus, set the rate to 40% and the depth to 60%. If you have a delay,
set that to match the song. On a Line6 POD, I am using 'POD Layer' with
'Drive' set to 55% with delay and chorus. Effect tweak set at 45%.
Playing:
I strummed upstrokes for the Rythym phrases, so you don't end up
catching the G string. Other than that, I think it's self-explanatory.
Also, Rythym I is used played 4 times in the intro.
