seems to be played on an electric piano, but it was too beautiful to not transcribe for guitar.\r\n\r\nKeep in mind, the meter is a bit tricky, as it is in a syncopated 3/4, with asymmetrical bar structures.\r\nI won't notate all of that, so you'll have to listen to it to get the feel.\r\n\r\nHere's a tip:\r\nPlay the A with just your pinky and ring finger on the D and G string,\r\nso when you slide up to the open B, C#m, and E, it's a smoooth transition,\r\nonly needing to add your index finger as you go up from B all the way to the E, holding the same fingering.\r\n\r\nUntil the final
