Tabbed 8th of January 2011 by indust from ultimate-guitar.com
Grinning by Nothingface, second track from the album An Audio Guide For Everyday
Atrocity released in 1998. It's a great song on guitar to unleash your inner rage.
This song is played in Drop C#/Drop Db.
This is my first tab ever written, so don't be hating. Don't forget to rate!
*drumroll*

Then goes the intro riff, but instead of playing the C# and c# strings, you play C# and
g# strings. For those who didn't get it, it's like this;
INTRO RIFF EDITED (2:36) 2x
