"In the Style of Andy Mckee" - Acoustic Ballad Part II
David Soltany
Hey guys! This is another song in an "Alan Parson" mood, with an Andy McKee flavor. Here's the tuning for this song: D G D G B D Change Low E string to D Change A string to G Leave D string Leave G string Leave B string Change High E string to D The "X" mark in the tablature = Thumb There are few spots that need to be worked carefully in order to play them correctly.

The thumb playing bass is quite important as it gives the "groove" to the song because the rhythm is quite straight, so pay close attention to it. Enjoy!
