Biography:
On the surface, 22-year-old Florida native Matt Hires seems to be the epitome of the sunshine state: bare-footed, artistic, and coolly easy-going. But there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. As a child, Matt was introduced to different musical genres by his father. It was Matt’s father that passed along his old, handmade acoustic guitar from 1977 to Matt when he was sixteen years old - the same guitar that Matt uses today. A homeschooler, Matt taught himself to play the guitar.

chord. If you want, however, you can play it barred)
Dm: xx0231
G: 320003
In the first verse he is plucking the chords as follows:
C: x(3)xx(10)
F: xx(3)x(10)
First bracket is the bass note and the other two strings in the second bracket are
played at the same time. Just use your thumb for the bass note and your index and
middle finger for the b and e strings. Rhythm is quite easy if you listen to him
play it in the video.
