Cover song by GVF on "From the Fires" EP, originally by Fairport Convention. Riffs are optional but
definitely help fill out the song just that little bit extra! If you enjoyed learning this song and
found it accurate, or have a suggestion for improvement, please take the time to rate and leave a comment :)
Note on the opening riff: The first note is a bend that begins almost immediately, you kind of bend in
the middle of the note, so from 3rd fret to the note in between 3rd and 4th fret, and then back down again.
