-3 Is by far the easiest setting.
+2 is way easier
The second to last bit (starts with “when all…”) needs to be repeated 4 times and the part after that (the outro) needs to be repeated 3 times. Also, before the second to last bit it shows “along” played 4 times when its supposed to be 3 but, i like using the 4th to kinda die down to play the following slower then build back up. 🙂 P.S.: c0o0kie, I totally agree, +2 is definitely easier to play and personally, to sing. Overall, this is a wonderful tab and I love to play it all the time!
