This is my version of Big Sur from the Thrills album "So much for the city"
I've stolen a couple of bits from the previous version and obviously added
in a few guitar bits too. The picking pattern from the intro is pretty much
maintained during most of the verses but usually with an open top string, play
around and see what you like the sound of. I don't think the opening Dsus2 is
strictly right but its the best I could figure out in the 15 mins I've spent on
this.
