Hi @Rcorso, as far as I know, you won’t find the tab in the app, but you will find it on the website:

On the “and of three” start picking the strings, fretting as shown in the tab. I found it helpful to speak the “1 + 2 + 3” count-in in a monotone, and si…

There are lots of other tips in this thread as well… It’s surprisingly tricky… Mainly the rhythm and timing…

I want to add, while the song is in the PP, the APP is for strumming the rhythm guitar section only, the lead guitar is in the backing track so you’d have to pick those notes out by ear or find the TAB elsewhere.
