Song: The Current
Artist: Gavin Rossdale (feat. Blue Man Group)
Tabbed by: Uncool
Comments: This song is pretty *** awesome. Hard as hell to find on CD though so if ya don’t already have it you’d be better off downloading it. Nice and easy to play and sounds dead cool. Have Fun. Also Gavin Rossdale (the writer, singer and guitarist on this track) is also the lead singer and guitarist in a great band called Bush. Ch-ch-ch-eck them out if ya don’t know them already.
