if your playing alone, it sounds nice if you interchange that last 5/7/7 powerchord
from the the A string to the E. it just gives it more bite.like say if your
trying to impress some girl with your acoustic skillz, it would make a better
ending. cuz fading out with that power chord itself on D would be kinda dry.
ya know?


note on hipster chord: there is an effect on those chords. when the extra strings
are added on 9 and 10 its only the first time its plucked and then the reverb or
whatever takes it from there. you gotta find the beat on when to pluck that accent
and then revert straight back to the main 7/9 chord, all while maintaining that
accent string. this is all if you only dont have that effect pedal of course. or
you can be lazy and just hit the added strings all the way through, but if you
listen closely they fade away but that 7/9 chord stays. it also repeats to the
to 7/9 one more time before the main chorus. but you already can see that on the
tab so im being repetitive now, repetitive now, repetitive now..


anyway, this is NOWAY the song to the T, but itll get you by.
hook me up with the real beats if you gottem k?
