Plain (311)
	done plainly by jeff terrel

This starts out with an envelope filter or wah doing:

	Am  C  B

over until [0:36] when it's:

	G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  Bm  G

and back.  When distortion pops in ("nod your head to this...") repeat:
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
	E  F#  G  F#

then at [1:12] it does stuff with an Am, basically sliding or whatever.

at [2:36]  it adds to the same riff thing a  --0--0~2-- fill on the G
string (!)
