Stone Temple Pilots - 'Piece of Pie'
From 'Core' Album (one of my all-time favorites!)
Drop D Tuning (DADGBE), set amps for heavy distortion
tabbed by jjhand, with some of the riffs from 'AIC STP 10'
This song is awesome, and the bridge is all jazz chords, making it very
cool sounding. The guitar was multi-tracked on the CD, so I wrote out the
rhythm and Lead parts. Enjoy and rate!
Intro (2 Guitars): Rhythm holds the last D chord, Lead plays high strings
