• Song:

    I Hope You Know What Youre Doing

  • Artist:

    Shoes And Socks Off

Time signature is standard 4/4.
Tuning half a step down for all strings, and no capo is required.

Song structure is a little unconventional, and will take some work to memorise. Other than that this song is rather simple.

- Knowing how to fingerpick is invaluable, and this song essentially requires it.
This song would be great for anyone who wants to learn though, just use your thumb for 
the E & A
strings, your index finger for the G string, your middle finger for the B string, and
use your ring finger for the high E string.
