Rock On, Larryboy - Shux
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI: The name of the band that sang this in the movie "Larryboy and the Bad Apple"
is Shux--a band name that was made up for the music video. Also, VeggieTales really
is the name of the artist. I know that they're not an actual band, but the artist
listed on Itunes and other websites is VeggieTales.

This is the link to the song that I used to tab this song with. Also note, this is
a link to the album version of the song. It's only slightly different from the music
video in the actually movie.

playing. The one I tabbed is the one that plays in the left channel.)

Lead Guitar (I have struggled with this ending; and since I don't want to turn
in any tab or part of a tab that I don't feel is correct, I've decided to only
submit the section towards the ending of the Outroduction which I believe I tabbed
correctly. I'm sorry that I couldn't nab this part. If anyone believes that he or she
can get this accurately, then please message me about it or post it in the comments
below. Thanks!) (Bend the last "17" note furiously--which also coincides with the last
chord struck by the Rhythm Guitar--and hold your finger at that fret for about a second.
Then, slide down to the fifth fret)
