The title track to Ian Thornley's first solo record "Secrets." It is such an underrated album, plenty of gems
on this one. This song is a lot harder to play than it sounds, but I managed to figure it out. Plus, I'm sure
there's a handful of Ian Thornley fans out there who are guitarists, who know this song that want to know how
to play this, so I'd thought I'd help you guys out. This is a beautiful song. Have fun playing.
