The Alkaline Trio were the band that started it all for me.
Many times I have tried to cover a song and many times I have failed until I stumbled
across a YouTube video of the band playing a intimate Record Shop Acoustic session.
The song Every Thug Needs a Lady starts at 23:55.
This is the kind of Acoustic I like to play so I got straight on with transcribing.
I'm pretty much certain I have this nailed and it sounds sick!
it standard or like I do capo up on 2nd.
The Chord names are just there for reference but these are the actual finger positions.
On the D Chord I like to hang my thumb over the neck to mute the E string.
Moving your ring finger around between the 1st, and 3rd frets on the B string lets you play the lead
on the intro too which takes a little practice but definitly adds a more dynamic sound.
Hope it all makes sense :)
