    Back 2 Good Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Matchbox 20

this is an amaaaazing song--u just gotta love it. i already knew how to play the
basic chords, but foolin around i got all the riffs figured out (plus the reed
parts) on my own. matchbox 20 two guitarists, so naturally this is for two
guitars. so along with the riffs i have the chords for the rhythm guitarist. you
can pick if u want to pick it, play chords, or mix em both. =) questions/comments
