Version: 3 Type: Tab

Explosivo Tab

   
I have taken a new look at the initial riff of explosivo. If you don't like it please
bear in mind it is my interpretation and you can always replace it with the conventional riff.
The end of the song is a bit of a mystery to me as to how to tab it. I think some rapid guitar
thrashing combined with some dead notes will provide the ending - allied some lyrics.

The letters W, H, Q, E, S, T above the tab represent the durations of notes.

W - whole
H - half
Q - quarter
E - 8th
S - 16th
T - 32nd

Good luck with this amazing frenetic song, and please, contribute to the D Tabs.




Climb upon my faithful steed,
Then we gonna ride,
gonna smoke some weed.
Climb upon my big-ass steed,
And ride, ride, ride.
