version 3
Tuning: Standard
With the Intro just strum a D Power Chord like crazy. I think Mazur uses an effect
the verses. Try and play as much of the song on the low E as possible, as it gives the
a thicker, almost warmer feel, whereas on the A string they're a little sterile.

Acoustic Interlude:
The singer picks up a guitar here and play these power chords. Lead guitar essentially
the same thing. It's tempting to play minor barre chords here, but I'm pretty sure it's
power chords. The interval resolve here really does the trick and you don't need to
it.
