Version 1 Version 2TUNED A WHOLE STEP DOWN (DGCFAd) So, this song is played in F, but to get the sound right, I think it's best to play it as if in G, but tuned a whole step down. I haven't been able to find a video of Ray playing it yet, so I'm not sure that he is doing it this way... but I think he is. The transition between G and D/G is essentially the main riff. And the notes that come through most clearly are played on the B string when playing G chord and on the G string when playing D/G. More specifically, you can hear that riff by playing 3rd fret B string then open B string then open G string and then 2nd fret G string. With that in mind, as you strum on those two chords (G and D/G) try to emphasize the B and G strings, rather than the high e string.
