Long Nights by Eddie Vedder - Guitar tab

This is a variation of Long nights that uses the same song structure and picking, but incorporates more bass notes so it can be played without a bass guitar and still sound nice with vocals.

Played with the capo on the 5th fret. The finger picking uses the pattern below. All steps in the pattern last for a single count except the first step (with the thumb and the second finger) which lasts for two counts.

1. thumb + second finger together
2. thumb
3. first finger
4. thumb
5. second finger
6. thumb
7. first finger
