California Mick Flannery
Song: California
Artist: Mick Flannery
Album: White Lies
Okay so. This is California. I love this song. Great guitar in it. I called this
a chords tab because it is mostly chords but I'll tab out the intro and a fill.
Okay, Mick has a guitar style of using pick and his 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. A
mix between picking and finger picking basically. So for this intro just use
whatever you find easiest.
