Man of Sorrows (Lead Guitar)

Key of F, 140 BPM

The song is, as usual, pretty simple to play.
Here's the breakdown:

Intro & Verse: You're playing the notes of each chord, along with the rhythm. The album has both electric guitars playing from the beginning, but we have the rhythm guitarist come in at verse 2 at our church. It's really your call.

Chorus: You're the harmony this time around. Literally just chords in the upper register. If you haven't been playing the guitar for a while, you may have trouble making your fingers transition smoothly between the verse and the chorus. A little practice should get rid of this problem.

Bridge: This isn't what we do at our church, but I tabbed out what Nigel played in the demo video here anyway. It works quite well.

Turnaround/Outro: You're just letting the I (F major in this case) to ring out here.

God bless,

-John Lee
