Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Acoustic

so since the death of the “king of pop” , everyone has been submitting
michael jackson tabs . so i thought i would give it a shot . if you have any
problems with the tab just listen to the song then play . and when you’ve
made your final judgement , please rate and/or leave a comment .

( the rhythm of the song is based off the baseline . so just try and mimic
it . for the verses and choruses , i throw in some palm mutes to make it more interesting . )
