'Teenage Alien Nation' by American Hi-fi - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Teenage Alien Nation
Song lyrics:
This is another drop D song by American Hi-fi from what I can tell, and I hope it's all right. You could probably play it in standard tuning with the open power chords as just a mute, but see what you think when playing it.
