Album : Consolers of The Lonely
Two guitars on this song. I'm proposing standard tuning for both, since that's what they
on stage.
It will sound off from the record, it seems they play it with their guitars tuned down
half-note.
The electric parts are played with a bottleneck but be careful, you have to only hit the
strings
metionned, otherwise it'll just sound off.
I didn't do the little acoustic bits yet, I'll work on those later.
Any comments, good or bad will be appreciated!
