"Hi Guitarists,
Alright I'm trying to learn this song, but I'm having trouble, heres the tabs to the first part of the intro:
Now see where I've written problem area, well I think there's something missing in this tab, yet I don't know what i should play. I practiced that part for about 30 minutes and playing it back over the record, but kept getting muddled. Anyone got any suggestions as to what might go there.
Heres the complete tabs, can someone check them for me to make sure they're right and i'm not learning something which is just a load of muddle:laugh3:"

"What if cards...."
This part is kind of tricky, the lead guitar is hard to hear, but this is
basically what the guitar plays combined a little with the vocal melody...
It works fairly well, but play around with it a bit. Listen to the recording
and you'll hear the basic idea.
