Well, after months of living off the labor of everyone else that has
contributed both here and at Nevada, this is my first shot at
transcribing something. I used my black on white US Strat hooked up to
a cheap Dean Markely practice amp.

From the Album: Wildflowers


Intro Riff (same throughout song) Bass plays something similar to
guitar 1 riff.
