If you haven’t heard these guys yet, you’re missing out. It’s hard
to explain exactly what they sound like. But it’s been called “acoustic
punk.”
I play all of the notes barred. But, ya know, you can play it
whatever way suits you best. It’s pretty easy and it sounds good. Probably
the hardest part is all of the muting that’s going on. But listen to the
CD and you should be able to pick up on it pretty quick. Have fun!Intro:Drums do their thingVerse 1a:G
