Here's my shot at "Say Goodbye" by Sanctus Real, from their "Fight the Tide"
album. The strum pattern is pretty weird, so I'm not bothering with that.
Their guitar is tuned to D Standard (NOT Drop D), so it won't sound right
if your guitar is in E Standard tuning. A lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs
on the D string on the 2nd fret. The chord-change timing varies in the intro
and verses, as well. First half of intro,chord changes happen on about the
first and fourth beats; second half of intro, chord changes happen on first
and third beats. Listen to the song and I think you'll catch it.
Four harmonic plucks on 5th fret, then:
