From David's new 2006 album, some say his best work yet, some say its a bit plod along.
quite like his album, personally, and there is some great parts, even if you dont like
whole package.
Played on David's black strat from the 70's, now with maple ('57) neck and
re-wound Seymor Duncan pickups. You can see the lines in the paint on the
back where, perhpaps, the Kahler tremolo system was installed at some point.
Please note, this isnt really accurate tab, its just a guide. Palm mutes,
Let ring, and other things may not be noted in the TAB. Listen for timing.
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
Gtr1. w.Tremolo, Delay and Distortion.

Thats the kinda intro bit, its just playing about, with the odd fill around
Em pentatonic, and the Emaj chord, and switching to that wierd 'D-ish' chord.
Bridge 1 (Part 2 is just variations on the order of those chords)
