American Hi-Fi "Flavor of the Weak" Off of their self-titled album Transcribed by Brian Stofko ("Incubus") This is a great song but it did take a little while to tab it. Please e-mail me with any suggestions you might have to this tab, there could be an error or two. Anyway there is a lot of complicated parts in this song especially the 2nd Solo, so I suggest that you listen to the song as you play it.- Questions, Comments, Changes, or Suggestions-
