Guitar Notes: This is a single acoustic solo. The song
is played by John Butler (the composer) with a custom
11 string without a 2nd g string, but it sounds relatively
fine on a 6 string acoustic.
This is all based on Butler's performance at Max
Sessions, seen here:

I HIGHHHHLLLYYY suggest that you all watch this
video if you plan on learning this or just want to enjoy it
to it's full potential. There is just soo much free playing
in this song that cannot be transcribed.
Next, I'm not a good tabber. This is my first tab, though
I have made several user comps. But as for my ear
tabbing, I'm not good. I feel this tab is somewhat
accurate, but only really gives the gist of what this
song is really about. Just remember, watch the video,
and this will all make sense.
I did not transcribe this entire tab by my ear. I found an
ASCII tab on the internet and used it as a reference.
This tab is seen here: http://www.ultimate-

For this reason I may or may not submit it to the PTC.
I'll see later. That tab does have a handful of errors.
So just, yeah. Watch the video. If the link expires for
whatever reason or I faulted, just search John Butler
Trio - Ocean or whatever into the search at
www.youtube.com
Make sure its John himself. Some of the covers just
blow.
As for the guitar tuning, All guitars = CGCGCe with a
capo on fret 4. A custom made 11 string is the guitar
Butler plays, and the common way to emulate it in PTE
is two add a guitar an octave up, but I did so and it just
didn't sound right. So I just add the guitar, tuned it all
nice for you people, and if you REALLY want it there,
just throw it in. Come on now. Click guitar in...click the
two little check boxes...don't be lazy.
Bass Notes: There's no bass, foo'.
