    Hey Chris,

    Greetings from far away Hong Kong! I bet you would have not imagined in your wildest dreams to hear from this far, especially as a first comment!!
    But man, this is one fantastic song. I had the fortune of hearing this track on Pandora a week ago, and have been looking for it all over youtube, but in vain. Then I hit upon your website :).

    You’ve basically made one helluva song out of just two chords! Unbelievable!! I’m a music-hobbyist, and strum-sing quite a bit myself. I figured that this song is basically just E and A. Putting a capo on the 4th fret and playing open C (which becomes E) and a barred F (which becomes A) on an acoustic makes it sound almost like on the track, though there are some power chords on a second guitar, and the slide adorning it to a maximum. Also a keyboard. Was wondering if you can point out if there are any subtle variations like a 7th or 6th. I dunno if putting tabs here would hurt your business, but if not it will be great!

    But anywhichways, you are doing a good job, man. Inspiring people, touching lives! Hope to serenade my own ‘Firecracker’ with this fantastic melody someday!!

    Respect!
