Right, here is a classic Manics track! Little Baby Nothing The Intro is played using two twelve string steel guitars, guitar 1 is the main guitar it uses a clean sound with strong reverb and a thick chorus, guitar 2 uses a slightly broken tremelo arm. I have transcribed it for a six string guitar because my Dad accidentally spilled petrol into my twelve stringer! Both guitars are finger picked throughout.
