Talent Show -- The Replacements
This is the opening bit on the acoustic. Pretty easy, just bar the
open A chord so that you can bounce up and down on the second fret for
the F# note and have your pinky ready to hit the G# note on the 4th
fret.

This is repeated throughout the song where I have the A chord. The lead
line just does very minor variations on the 0-2-0-2-4-0-2 stuff
on the high E string.
