Creed - 'The Song You Sing' From the Album 'Full Circle' Tuning - all strings down 3 frets (C# F# B E G# C#)
The rhythms are difficult in this song since the acoustic has a eighth note pattern on low strings and high string melody triplets over 2 beats during these eighth note patterns, so the rhythm gets complex. I tried to show differences in rhythm so anyone can play these with some practice. Please rate or comment.
Intro/Verse (Acoustic - use thumb on C# string )
