Seventeen - The Tallest Man On Earth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This sounds about right with the version on the record, although it feels like
he´s using some kind of effect on his guitar as it sounds "twangier" in lack
of a better word. Although this feels like what it would sound like on a
regular acoustic guitar.
