When America plays this song\r\nlive, they use 3 acoustic guitars. One for the Riff melody, one the Riff \r\nharmony and the third for the chords. This arrangement is for one guitar.\r\nUsing a capo on the 2nd fret will allow the player to play the song in the \r\ncorrect key but offers some easier open chords to play. The main Riff is \r\na bit easier since it includes open strings. To keep it simple, the riff\r\nharmony is not played.\r\n\r\nListen to the song to get the palm-muted timing on the chord strumming.\r\n\r\nStandard Tuning.
