**First tab**
Based on : Islands In The Open Session (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaxYYtwGbb4)
I wanted to keep the same feel as the Open Session so I used some deep chords. I also
pluck the first half the song and strum the second half. This song has a lot of
flexibility, this is simply my favorite way of playing it solo on an acoustic guitar. Enjoy!
