Rough Day Days of the New This is a cool song to play, except there are a few parts where there is no guitar, just bass or percussion, and since I haven't tabbed the bass for guitar...it works best if you are playing with a band. If not, figure out some kind of improvisation to fill the quiet spots. The song structure is included below, and the tuning is NOT half a step down as in a usual `days of the new' song. There is also a second guitar playing something over top of Riff B, that I haven't tabbed out. It's a similar melody played an octave higher, (I think), it has a very similar tone to and electric guitar. Listen to the acoustic toned guitar to hear what I have tabbed. ============================================================================================== MAIN RIFF
