think its off of VH. #1
Set your guitar to 1/2 step down[Not sure,But it’s the way its’ done here]
may not be note for note either.I make no claims to being a jam-master or
something.Have some distortion,turn the amp up and have a -go[dont get evic-
-ted though].

use volume swell’s and fast clean attack now.
I think you dont need my guidance to do what comes next.Go with the flow!
Love that Eddie and I’ll see ya…..open to suggestions or corrections.
To all that bitch…just[if not at olga] post what you know Somebody will
enjoy it.
