Description

First things first, we are going to learn the moving guitar line that starts off the song with Guitar #1. This sets the tone for the whole song.

The chord progression for the Intro is simply a four bar vamp on D major. Guitar #1 starts in on beat 4 with a triplet melody, playing a walk up into our 1 chord which is D.

Once we are in, we play a bass line style melody that is two measures long and is played twice. You will continue this feel and melodic motif with Guitar #1 throughout the entire song.
