dropped D tuning
remember with dropped D remember your G chord bass note is now on the 5th fret of
your low E string , use your ring finger to play that 5th fret low E and your pinky
to play 5th fret a string . then your pointer finger covers 3rd fret on the B and hi E strings .
the riff i refer to at the end of the first verse lines and 3rd verse is at the end of the tab .
