Creed - 'Overcome'
From 'Full Circle' Album (2009)
Tuning: Drop B, or B F# B E G# C#
tabbed by jjhand
This Creed song is heavier than their previous hits and has a nice Clean
Guitar Verse riff that is simple. They have a second Guitar player on tour
who doubles the parts shown or plays rhythm chords, so I'll note those
parts. Please rate or comment on Ultimate-Guitar.com. Thanks!
Intro - (bb = bend pitch up with trem bar, PH_bb is same with a pinch harmonic)
