			     RIPTIDE – Sick Puppies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed By : VaiProdigy
e-mail: lparks13@gmail.com

Tuning: Drop C (C,G,C,F)
4/4 Time - s: slap with thumb; x: slap muted string with thumb

**THIS IS MY FORST ATTEMPT AT TABBING, SO BE GENTLE!!**
Emma does all thumb slapping on verses, and picking on the chorus up until
 the last phrase (I like where Im at) and the bridge. 
Every other phrase or so, she also does a 16th note slapping pattern where
 only the 2 main notes are played, and its straight 16th note muted slapping
 on the higher strings. These parts will be indicated by a ** on the TAB below.
Im so Sick of seeing incorrect tab on this one lol, and I love this song, so ENJOY!
BTW-Im very meticulous on my tabs and there will be more coming!
