The melody of What If by Five For Fighting runs 351 notes across 61 bars, 2:58 long in Am at 152 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
