Newton Faulkner - Teardrop tabbed by Alex Stevens This man has an incredible talent for the accoustic, it's a great song, I hope you enjoy it, feel free to rate. It's a pretty hard song to learn since your mind is battling with 4 things at once...(who said men can't multi-task??) It is very satisfying song to be able to play so don't give up.
