do you think you could do the intro to this song where he is picking out all the notes please it would be very much appreciated -guitarman389 | 3/11/2011 | This song needs to be modified. Not bashing. Larry plays it in standard tuning in the key of D with no Capo. You can also use drop d tuning like Dan Tyminski if you like, it sounds great as well. Been playing it since I was 11. I'm 35 now. Fav all time song! The intro is basically picked from d, db, b, as a walk down with an alternating pattern. It's not difficult, if you are tuned correctly. Give it a try. Good luck! Thanks for putting the lyrics up! -lcadle81 | 2/16/2017 |
