SMASHING PUMPKINS A Song For A Son
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Carrie Davies
Email:quietiamsleeping@yahoo.com
Tuning:Standard
Ok,I have not given all the technique on how to play the song but here is something you
know
b obviously means bend,an h above the b means half bend and the w above the
means whole bend and so on.The tp in the solo means trem pick.Last of all the ah
means artificial harmonic,theyre almost semi-ah,by this I mean you can hear the note you pick
the ah.Any questions etc feel free to email me.
