COCA-COLA - Brand New

I originally hated this song as I favored the demo it is based on.
However, I have grown to appreciate this version more as its lyrics
are much heavier and personal rather than the cheap sentimentality of
the demo. I doubt many will come to the same conclusion but that's
how music works.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

The noise in the background here can be recreated by holding a note at the
9th fret on the G string. Also the higher pitched noises later on can be
recreated using a glass slide placed ALL THE WAY up the strings (like over
the pickups even) and slowly moving it down. I'm pretty sure most of the
noises are just synth pads but its fun to attempt them.

[Guitar 2] Use a slide. These parts come in at separate times,
thus the separation into different sections. Also the note
that you slide up from is between the 13th and 14th frets.
So you have to feel it out.
