Rotten Apple Chords & Tabs
Rotten Apple
Alice in Chains
Tabbed by Brownbear93
Tuning is a half step down
There's several guitar tracks on this one giving it that huge sound.
I tried to combine a couple of tracks here and there just to simplify it.
Guitar 1 and 3:w/ talkbox
Guitar 2: clean electric
Guitar 4: Acoustic
Intro Solo: (played with a talkbox but a wah works perfectly fine)
G1(2 guitars for 1)
