For the verses, I'd use pick and fingers, but use what you like. Be sure to let the high E string ring out as the lower bass notes are plam muted. I think the whole songs on an electric-acoustic, because the verse definately is, and he just kicks in the distortion for the chorus, etc. -|----------------|-0------0------0------0---------|-------------------------- -|----------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------- -|----------------|*------------------------------*|-------------------------- -|----------------|*------------------------------*|-------------------------- -|----------------|----------2-2-----------0-0-----|-------------------------- -|----------------|---0-0-----------0-0------------|-------------------------- DRUM INTRO P.M.
