=====2nd Guitar=====
Hi guys, so when I was learning this song, there weren’t really any GREAT, AMAZING
tabs out there that were 100% full and accurate. Thus, learning this song was quite
challenging, as I had to piece together the parts of the good tabs out there with
the parts I had to learn by ear/mp3/video. So, I’ve been playing this song for
about 3 years now, and I have it pretty much EXACTLY the way Shane and Shane play it.
Some parts may not seem right/may seem a little weird and funky at first play,
but I assure you each note in each chord has been carefully screened for correctness
and accuracy to the song. This is not only a great song, but a fun one to learn on
guitar as well.
Enjoy and God bless.
I highly suggest listening to the song to help you see/hear how the tabs are played
IN CONTEXT with the actual song. Go to my youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtD2sfH0occ to see me play only the 2nd guitar
part, EXACTLY how you see it here.

* = for this strumming part, I usually just play around with those notes, because
there’s not one way to play which’ll make it sound better. Having the open 0 gives it
a nice open suspended sound, and throwing in the 2 makes it sound a bit more resolved.
Hammering and pulling off and using both gives it a taste of both options. It’s up to you!

Once again, strum ^that F chord according to the song. Tabs can’t do it justice
in terms of telling you how to strum.
