Notes -
A nice ballad for Stapp’s son. Good guitar work by Tremonti too.
Tremonti always holds his guitar in the classical position while playing.
Mostly while he finger picks. Not so much on the real HEAVY stuff.
He props his left leg up on one of his 2 x 12 JBL floor monitors and plays like that. This naturally gives you the elevation to use all five of your fingers when finger picking. It may be unorthodox to some of you but it really is nice way to play stuff. This is how he plays this tune. I've studied him when he plays live. It actually is easier to play this way.
Tab Key –
H = hammer on
P = pull off
~ = let note ring
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
Intro/Verse – (uses wah pedal as a filter, no wah when played live.)
