Timbuk 3 - Futures So Bright

Futures So Bright

o Simple song; it's all in the feel.  The part marked "intro" is
  really a lick that can (should) be thrown in (with variations)
  wherever the song has an "A" chord.  Partial palm muting helps.

o Besides, this is the first solo I ever figured out from a record.
  Look at it and you'll see why.  :-)
