Both performances are cool and aren't much different, but you may notice some phrasing discrepancies. This is basically how I play it. BTW, this is easier than "Bricklayer", but more of a pain to get in tune properly. It's worth it though :-) Tuning (low to high) : C# A C# G# A E, then capo on 2nd fret ( keep in mind, with the capo on II, a notated '5' actually indicates the 7th fret, 11 is really a 13,.... )
