Guitar Tab

Title: Hopeless
Artist: Train
Album: Drops of Jupiter
Tabbed by: ToledoDan
With special thanks to: Chris Hilf

For originally taking the time to put the rhythm

I've modified and filled in the rest of the parts for
the Rhythm Guitar as well as added the Lead guitar
part for the song.

Both guitars are standard tuned. For lead guitar I
used a finger slide on my pointer finger.
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Rhythm guitar I found it easiest to play the picking
with my middle finger on the low e and ring and pinky
fingers on the g and b strings.

*Note*
This is my own personal representation of the song and
is in no way endorsed by the band or it's owners. If
