Arrangement Details:
- Key Signature: G Major - 1 sharp (F#)
- Time Signature: 4/4
- Tempo: Moderately
- Metronome: q = 96
- Voice Range: G3 - D5
- Beginner Guitarists: See charts for all open chord voicings. There are 2 voicings for D/F#. The thumbed voicing (T), flows more smoothly from Am/G → D/F#... and sounds better.
You can replace D/F# with D, and Am/G with Am if you prefer although it does sound better with the bass notes, especially if you are playing solo.
