Listen on:

This basic version sticks close to the melody, and that's always a good idea. There's a little bit of drop thumb. If that's too tough you can just play the 5th string in pace of any spot where drop thumb is needed and that will still sound great! Use the difficulty slider if you need to, and don't forget about other Tunefox tools like the focus feature.



There's a lot of great licks to explore here, so dig into those after you get the basic arrangement down. Try to really think critically about how the licks connect to the original arrangement. Doing this reverse engineering can help you start to create licks of your own.
