    Lick #2:
  •  
    This one is played behind most of the verses, during the 'G' chord.
    The tab below assumes you're playing an open G (300023); just work
  • this pattern into your finger-picking, if any. It also sounds nice
    when moved down an octave, but you need to go to dropped-D tuning.
