About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

It's always good to learn songs out of "C" position, but especially cool when they're in "Drop C" tuning. That's what we're doing with this one, then we slap a capo on the 2nd fret to play in the key of D. The first A and B parts are fairly straight ahead, then the second A and B parts have a few tricks thrown in. You'll definitely get a melodic workout with this one!
