Let me know what you think. I'll try to check my work to hopefully improve the tab. I'll be spending some time trying to learn this so I don't know when the next tab will be. But if nobody beats me to it, it will be Machine Gun Blues by Social Distortion. Thanks for all those who have rated my tab. Have fun!! ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | ^ Bend ************************************
