Song: 20 Years 


Heres my rendition of the song. I've seen several, very different versions already but 
of them seem to be completely faithful to the song. Its a mix of ear transcription and 
posted tabs, so thanks for those posters for giving me a hand =P 

I've tried to make it as easy to follow as possible. This song isn't particualy 
and sounds geat acoustic (the only way to play it IMO). Its a good song to start finger  
with. 

The easiest way to this is rest your last three fingers on the stratch plate, leaning 
the e string; and place your thumb over the A and your index finger over the D string. 
this position you can alternate plucking between finger and thumb, and move them up and  
the strings as neccescary - just keep the thumb on the low strings and he finger on the 
strings. 

(FA#D#G#CC) 
>Tune Down One Step by tuning the A string to the 4th fret of E; then tuning the rest of 
strings with regards to the new A. Don't forget to tune the E at the end. You also need 
tune the e to he B string (now F and C). This is standard placebo tuning. You can ignore  
e to B tuning though, as those strings aren't used. 

{listen to the song to get timing right, and correct me if you think its wrong}

Try keep the notes done by the finger crisp, and notes down by the thumb as louder and 
Accent the the notes marked * to emphasise the riff's variation.
