Alright, here's an alternative and easy way to play Taps that I created myself. All of
notes are played on an open string, so it's easy for beginners, and it also uses five
strings, which can help develop the technique of moving between strings.
Standard tuning, all downstrumming.
0 = note (open string)
~ = sustain (let the note play)

Notes:
-Instead of playing on an open B string, you can try playing it on the first fret of the
string. I chose B because it sounds better.
-The last note can either be a G or D open string. Again, I chose D because it sounds better.
