• Song:

    Negative Nine Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Emery

This is one of my all time favorite Emery songs. I've only ever heard it acoustic
and it has two guitar parts. The second guitar part is only played at the beginning
and at the ending. I've included it for those that want it.

Also during an interlude towards the end of the song there is a part which uses some
chords from earlier in the song, but I use different variations of those chords. I
personally just find it easier to use the alternate chords, but it's up to you.
