Fingerings

On the second bar, I included the CORRECT fingerings for the D chord. Some people are getting confused because I show a few different styles of D, depending on the song. It is easier for me to use the D that isn't in parentheses because on some songs it transitions much easier, especially if you just need to hit the chord quickly.

Chorus

Solo Theme

Solo Difficulty - Intermediate

For the solo, there will be 3 guitars playing. The first one you hear is the rhythm in the background. It is just playing the recurring theme from the intro and verse. The second guitar is the picked out part, and the third guitar part is the actual solo. This one is a little difficult to play on the acoustic.

Here is what the entire solo sounds like together :
