Title: Slither
Artist: Velvet Revolver
Album: Contraband
Tabber: Matt K

Tuning: Drop D
Guitar 1 - Lead - Slash
Guitar 2 - Rythym - Dave Kushner

Okay, this is my first tab, so let me know how I do and any corrections
or additions for the future. This is a kick ass song though and this has
some of the portions others have forgot (see Guitar 1 riff change in
Chorus). However, this is entirely from ear so it may not be 100%. Good luck
