This is a really repetitive song. Since I knew the song on piano, I thought I would set
it up to be able to have a guitar played along with it. I have the acoustic version of
Pardon Me, where it’s a guitar, bass, and drums playing along with the piano, and I also
pretty much figured it out from ear too.

Chorus: (now its staccato) on this part I thought it’d be better to use staccato instead
of picking. Instead of the other chording style you can use power chords, which would
be F#, C#, Eb, C#. It repeats that throughout the chorus in the same order x4 end it
with a picking each string.
