Tightrope Walker - Epicure
I know for without a doubt, that this is the correct way to play
it (in its basic form). This was how it was shown to me by one
of the band members. Though I won't Lie it is in a somewhat
simplistic form, the guitarists usually dress things up a
little bit over time
P.S Sorry about not using the role over chord dictionary I can't quite
figure that out properly yet (once i do i will update and fix)
and also this is my very first tab..ever ...so be gentle :)
