Note: I must say, Version 1 of Better now is 100% correct.
However, he/she missed the chorus and a little bit.

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/collective_soul/better_now_tab_ver_3.html ]
(Guitar 2 will hit a B note on G [4th fret]
with the "Step Effect" to make the wierd sound)

(Guitar 2 then does this while Guitar 1 plays chorus. Note
that this is not found on the Youth album, only on "Home"
and when CS does live performances.)
