Subject: FADE by Staind

This is my own work and first submission to OLGA. This is an acoustic 
version of FADE that I came up with. The only versions I could find were 
for electric guitar using power chords etc. I based my version on one of 
these that I found by Deryk, honkydory69@hotmail.com. His version was in an 
alternate tuning Ab Db Ab Db Gb bb. I tried to convert it to standard 
tuning(you may want to flat everything a half step, E to Eb etc) and open 
chords. It is not perfect, but sounds pretty good on an acoustic and I 
would appreciate any constructive criticism to make it better as my ear is 
not the best. The timing might be a little off, but you'll get the idea.
