To get it closer to the original, you have to play with the "A" a bit,
work with a hammer on and pull off on the fifth string, changing from 2 to 0
and other way around - even beginners will have sorted it out easily while
listening to the song.
Same goes for the "E" which follows, bit more complicated though. I use to
play the full E first, then hit the empy (0) fourth string two times followed
by (4) on the third string (with the little finger) and then from there a pull
off back the the E which you're still holding.

I’ve seen no place with the capacity to hoard shame like us

I was 20 in September in the Windexed dirty book store
