I didn't post every little bit and piece, no...but that's because
they improvise a lot, if you've ever seen 'em live. If you haven't
seen 'em live...then just take my word for it. =P In any case, I've
tabbed out the basic ideas and riffs and chords and a few fills and
such, so you should be set fairly well. Any questions or comments or
death threats can be sent to kyle_gumby@hotmail.com Have a nice day.
