The guitar takes the first solo in this arrangement, but stick around for the mandolin! We incorporate crosspicking, tremolo, and sweet licks to sing about our Sweet Savior! Have fun with this one!

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
