Tillman writes simple yet complex songs in terms of rhythm and hammer-on's so I
advice you to listen to the song to get both right. When playing the Am he
sometimes pulls of to 002030 and hammers back to 002230.
He plays the G/C for one beat.
This might not be 75% accurate but I've been playing it with the track/youtube
recordings etc and I think it sounds great . . . . so cut me some slack.
