Verse and chorus backing:
Guitar 1 plays the same backing for the verse as for the chorus.
It's a relatively simple part, however, the difficulty lies in the
fact that some notes have to be played staccato (= short) throughout
the song. So take note of the dots under the tabs to make it sound
good. The strings are also slightly muted by the right-hand. Just
let the leftside of your right handpalm slightly rest on the strings.
Use downstrokes for the single notes and upstrokes for the double
stops.
