WHERE THE RIVER GOES - Stone Temple Pilots
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song: Where the River Goes
Artist: Stone Temple Pilots
Album: Core
Tabbed by: rd93
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This has bits and pieces from the other tabs with some corrections. Credit for most of
the solos goes to jjhand.
I'm not going to put all the parts in order because that would make a ridiculously large
tab. Just repeat parts when necessary.

Chorus 1:
This chord (xx0430) is played with an upstroke. (It's hard to tell if that chord is even right...)

Bridge (part 1):
This is actually three guitars at once: a distorted one playing the slides on the A
string, one with some sort of effect picking the other notes and a clean one doing fills.
I'm not going to tab that last one; this will be the first two combined. Let all notes ring.

Outro Solo:
This guitar sounds like it could be played down a whole octave, shifted up with an
octave pedal. If you want to transpose everything down an octave and use that, it will
probably sound more like the recording, but this is the way it should sound:
