Motormouth by: Naked Brothers Band
Tuning: standard b= bend
This song is fun and easy to play. The only tricky part is playing legato on the last
of each cord watch for the bracketed notes
I find it also helps the tone when you do a very light decorative bend on the bracketed notes.

The 5b in the next section is a bend note that Qaasim plays. If you don’t like the sound
can play around with it to find what you like or just leave it out.
