This song is quite fun to play, because it sounds simple, but it’s intricate in its on way. The octave chords G#8, F#8 and E8 are played on the A string with the open B string ringing. During the verse, there are some variations of the E chord with an Esus4 (add6), but it is not essential to the song.

This song is interesting to me, because the chorus is quieter than the verse, which is very unusual in a song, but it works great in this one. Watch out for the D.C which will take you back to the beginning of the song with the repeats.

This song is a very interesting fingerpicking style. The finger pattern changes throughout the song, sometimes from one measure to another, so pay careful attention to that. Also, use the chords written above the measures to help you get the right chord shape. In the actual song, there is another guitar that strums the chords and plays some hammer ons.

This song is quite interesting to play. It starts simple, but once you get to the bridge, the octaves will make you move your fingers a lot. What is nice with that part it that the guitar player has to go back to the regular chords in between playing the lead part in octaves. The X in the chorus means that you play muted strings. Watch out for the measure of 6/4 and the repeat signs. Chords with a slash like D5/A are power chords played on the A string, but your finger bars also the E string which gives you a reverse power chord.
