Sinch
"Plasma"
From the album "Sinch"
Tabbed by Joe Costello (jcostello86@gmail.com)
Comments: In my opinion, this is the best song on the album. A really amazing song. However,
it's taken me quite a while to finally figure this one out. This is because the song
is played with a capo on the 3rd fret. I figured that much out when I saw Sinch play
in January. However, since I don't have a capo, it's been impossible to get the same tuning
that's used in the song. So I improvised on that, and changed the tuning, and this
right
I think. If it's not right let me know. And rate the tab.
I may eventually tab the song with a capo as well. If I ever get one...
