You can play it different ways.  For example, I've seen\r\nJon use the E and E5 interchangeably, but I like using the E to give certain parts more\r\nemphasis, so you can do it however you want.

I think it sounds more like the song.\r\n\r\n-During the verses it sounds like Jon is sort of strumming and picking at the strings.\r\nSo I like to strum a few times lightly, and then pluck the D string.  Also, on the last\r\nstrum before you pluck the D string, I think it sounds good if you don't hit either E\r\nstring.  This only works when you're playing the E5, not the E, though.  You can kind of\r\nplay with it.  It sounds like Jon is playing loosely.\r\n\r\n-The other thing is on the part I have tabbed out, I like to actually slide down one\r\nmore fret quickly for one strum before moving to the next part (besides the slide). So,\r\n(following the finger on the A string)  you'd slide 9/14, play on the 14th fret, quickly\r\nstrum on the 15th fret before going up to the 13th fret and so on.  I think that sounds more\r\nlike the studio version of the song, though during radio performances they usually just\r\nplay it how I have it tabbed above.  I hope that made sense.\r\n\r\nSorry this was long. Have fun.","plain_text":"\"Love Alone is Worth the Fight\" by Switchfoot\n\nThis is a pretty simple song.  You can play it different ways.
