Version: final, as I think it is accurate | x = scrape |
January 9, 2008 | |
| ph - pinched harmonic |
Arranged by Watchtower |_______________________|
Tuning: Standard
This was hard. If anyone can point out any mistakes I would appreciate it.
There are a few harp effects and acoustic tracks that are similar to what Ron
plays on electric guitar, so I didn't bother to include them.
