Standard tuning

What can be said of this song! Possibly my favorite of
Roadside Monument. They go and make an already incredible
composition even better by adding a trumpet; then they
outdo themselves by reading a portion of the amazing
"White Nights". I did my best to duplicate what Johnathon
plays, but I may be slightly off in which neck position he
plays.
