===================== ARTIST: THE NATIONAL SONG: ABOUT TODAY ===================== This isn't exactly what's played on the record as I think there is more than one guitar, but it's what I play at home.. I find myself adding in extra notes here and there to pad it out a little and make it sound a fuller, but this is the basics Listen to the song to get the rhythm and changes between the riffs.
