-New Star Song
-tabbed by mike/howardfinkel.
-minor improvements by john dodson.
-Capo 1 (this is just one of the ways i figured out from the album, you can capo it lots of places and it can be different live, im guessing John's tuned down a step or something on the album..)
-Can also just do Capo 3 and drop all the chords a full step, i play that sometimes too..
-there's an occasional riff on the A chord that you can play whenever you'd like; just a basic hammer and pull a la:
-e: |-------0
-B: |-------2
-G: |-------2
-D: |--0h2--2
-A: |-----0-0
-E: |-------0
-be gentle on the high e string; the song is played predominantly on the low spectrum.
