Artist: Jason Mraz
Submitted By: Kyle Voiles
This is Jason Mraz’s acoustic version of this song which is just a lot of fun
to play. He does a lot of muting and slapping in this version, which I don’t
always show in the tab, but these fingerings ARE correct. The timing is hard
to show here but if you download the acoustic version you’ll understand it
better. Note — this may NOT specifically match the radio version of the song.
His acoustic version is a little different, and much better in my opinion. 🙂
