Them Crooked Vultures - 'New Fang'
From the Debut Album (2009)
Standard Tuning - Clean Slide Guitar & Distorted Fuzz Guitar
Tabbed By: jjhand
Watch the rhythms. Most of this song is in 4/4 time, but occasionally a
1/2 beat is skipped making the second bar of the main riff 7/8 time. I
try to note this where applicable. Thanks to the 1st Tab version for some
of the rhythm part. Please rate / comment.
