-Poison the Well
--Opposite of December
---Nerdy
This is my rendition of the song. Everything sounds correct but I can’t guarantee that it is exactly how PTW plays it.
This song is in Drop D tuning. Just look at the tad for the exact nots for each string.
PM= Palm mute the notes that the letters are under and the notes with the dots under them
OK, here we go. Its not that hard, it just takes some practice.
