Hard To Concentrate Chords & Tabs
This song already had some fairly good tabs but
none were quite right so here you go, 100% correct
im pretty sure, 1st tab so give me credit if theres
1 thing wrong, for the sound i usually use flanger,
and twist volume for the swells, and for the intro
chords you can also play 14 12 11 instead of 14 15 16
if you like the sound of a lower register for the chord
