    So this is how I went about recording it myself. The song itself is fairly simple and consists of 4 chords (G, D, E, and C).

    If your familiar with tempo, strumming goes as follows: Down, down down up

    If not, listen to how Brad plays it intently, it WON'T be the same key as the studio recording but it should be the same for the live versions (I think). I changed the key to make it more singable for the rest of us that can't go as high as Chester can. :D

    There is one technical piece I left out, but I wanted to keep this fairly simple since I might teach a few kids how to play this.

    Enjoy!
