Guitar 2 :

You will want to play this rather loosely, as the acoustic just doesn't ring through in the same way as an electric, which is how this part is played.

Verse

Don't let the picking stump you. If you can play the intro, you can play the verse just as easy. Remember to look at the chords above on the tablature to get an idea of where you need to play next. Also, watch for the time change as well. You will see where it says 2/4, so adjust accordingly.

Chorus

Here we have Garth playing on top, and Ty England playing on the bottom. Of course, there are blank measures in there where the second guitar doesn't play anything. Also, remember that the only acoustic part is what Garth plays. It makes a big difference in the dynamics, but you can have fun with that by itself !
