I CHOOSE, The Offspring - Album: Ixnay on the Hombre
* - repeat about 4 times
x - left hand mute
The main part of this song is accurate but the solo I'm not so sure
about.All the finger positions there are pretty accurate it is
just the strumming and the high fret notes which are difficult.
Intro: Play once with guitar only then 3 times with bass and drums
