14th fret
On the high break you talk about using the thumb on the 14th fret, the way I see it that only works if the 5th string is tuned up to A as the note that is needed is on the 16th fret, which I found easier to fret with my finger.
Nice Arrangement,
Barry

No, it’s the 16th fret on the 5th string. You’re correct. That’s what it also says on the tab. Standard G tuning.

If I said 14th fret on the 5th string then I must have misspoke. Thanks for the question.
