An arrangement of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus for solo acoustic guitar. I played this one on my dirty old Takamine I used when I was a teenager, and I think the dust adds something to the effect, don’t you think? You can practically hear the dust in the guitar’s tone…

JK I forgot to clean the guitar I was so excited to record this arrangement. My bad.
