Old Scars from the Room for light CD
Not an accurate reproduction of the way Ryan plays it but his skills on the guitar are
somewhat better than mine, so this is an easy version.
I tap the strings with my thumb near to the bridge then a gentle up-strum with my
finger. to get the ringing sound from the guitar i.e. tap - strum - tap on each chord
