I think he plays this on a dirty electric, but it might just be an overdriven acoustic.
Both sound cool.

Normal Tuning: EADGBe

Chords are C#m, G#sus4

Played fingerstyle, CAPO FRET 4 (NUMBERS RELATIVE TO CAPO, WHERE CAPO=0)

The 'x's indicate where he stops the strings sounding , using a combination of left and
right hand to produce that 'chick' string noise. He also sometimes catches 'ghost' notes
just before he plays the chords - have a close listen and you'll see what I mean.

Ok, this is my arrangement of the 'cello part for guitar. Capo still on 4. Let me know
what you think, people. To help make sense of the timing, the tune starts ON the beat,
with the 'bass' notes playing OFF the beat, on the 'and' part of each beat. Sounds quite
cool with moderate overdrive but plucked gently (accent the tune slightly), as the notes
sort of run into one another - closest I could get to a 'cello on the guitar!
