Tom: E
written by Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy
Bonus track for the album 'Blackbird' (sold at Best Buy)
Tabbed by J. Handfield
Note: The solo is fast, but I think I tabbed it well. Note the tunings:
Eb tuning, but drop sixth string to Bb (use higher gauge string to get good sound)
Guitar 2 - sixth string is Ab (for the bridge)
All Guitars - Heavy Distortion
Intro: (bass plays 1st measure)
