Alice in Chains - "Brush Away" From the "Alice in Chains" 1995 Album Eb tuning tabbed by jjhand I noted the beats in the main Intro & verse parts to get timing right. Ths song has nice layered guitar/bass rhythms that make a spooky heavy sound, and a eerie harmonized part in the solo. Please rate/comment.
