Personally this is my favorite song off of "No Rain, No Rainbow." It's intense, jumpy
frenetic. It should be 99% accurate... it's just that the Guitar 2 part during the verses
a little hard to pick up... but we only care about Guitar 1 right? And during the
there's some complicated rhythms so the number of strums may or may not be right but
sure you'll figure them out :P. ENJOY!! Comments and ratings are greatly appreciated =].
