hey. this is my first tab, im pretty sure its right.very simple song, just listen to it
to get it perfect.also, the song sounds good even if you dont have two guitars, since
good riddance only has one anyway. you can go with either of the two choices, but i
prefer sticking with guitar 1 parts only.then again, im more of a rythm person :)
h=Hammer on
p=palm mute
x=times, 2x=two times
*=in this part, to make it authentic, try getting some feedback by either turning your
guitar loud to bein with or switching to lead and slowly letting go of the chord.
