Tuning: Standard
This is a tab for the song "Ennui" off of VersaEmerge's first EP, "Cities Built On
This EP was with the band's original vocalist, Spencer Pearson. I tabbed the song in Standard
I am sure it is played in Drop D; I simply found it to sound better when played in Standard.
Please check the song out and play along to hear where current parts go or to get a
idea of how the song is played. Please contact me with any issues, questions, or comments!
Thanks, Matt
