Title: Better Living Through Chemistry
Album: Rated R
Transcribed by: michael ramirez
This is great song. It's really atmospheric, but has
lightning fast guitar parts to it, and a smooth tom-tom
intro or something.
It's a pretty fast guitar piece, but when you get it, it's
nice and satisfying.
My tab is NOT complete, so if you can fill it in, please do so.
Standard Tuning. (EADGBE)
