"Luna" by Smashing Pumpkins
This is my first attempt at transcribing, so there are probably a lot of out
of place stuff. But the rhythm is easy so you should be able to figure it
out on your own after you play it for a bit. Any questions, comments, etc.
are more than welcome.
One of the easier songs off the Siamese Dreams album. There is a sitar
effect of some sort for Guitar 1.
