Make sure you're tuned to Drop D (thats your sixth
string tuned to your open 5th string!). Also Lindsey uses
a capo at the 2nd fret for the whole song. When you get
to the solo at the end, take the capo off. Keep in mind
that this tab is showing only one guitar. I believe the
original track had 2 or 3 guitars going at once. So I 've
mixed it up a bit to contain all the parts into one for ease
of playing along to the record.
