Song: Long Way Down
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
My music teacher and I tabbed out this song and you can decide 
how good it is.  We got the solo and everything too.  
Also I'm going to tab out two different ways to play the background
guitar, one is the way I've seen the Goo Goo Dolls play it, the other
is a much easier way for others to play.  

h-hammer on
p-pull off
^-bend
v-vibrato
/-slide
*-guitar enters
LR-let ring

INTRO/CHORUS Guitar 1 (background) this is the way I've seen it done

That's it, I don't have time to put up the easier way to play the background 
guitar but I'll get to it.  Rate it however you like.  Also listen to the song
for timing and such because it's hard to set the rythem and tempo on a tab 
but I did my best.  Please post corrections and I'll try to update the tab as 
necessary.  Thanks.
