Gouge Away

Pixies

Text File

This song is one of the best from Doolittle, the guitar is essentialy some heavy palm
muting, then some cool barre chords with some guitar riffs in between. Its not too 
to play and sounds great.

Sounds best with a little distortion.

And kill us all

With holy fingers
