+2 is really easy and a good key
If you don’t like the sound of playing chords in this song, if you use the fingerings for the chords but play it the way you play the intro, it sounds really nice. You just have to figure out the timing for changing the chords
i played the pizzicto pattern in the tab on all the chords in the verse but i played one strum for all the chords in the chorus until the last bit where it repeats then i pizzicato’d again
