I have spent lots of time working on this tab, and it's a very good tab.
So enjoy. A lot of things that he does is hard to hear, but if you
really listen hard enough you can hear it. The speakers that I used
to figure some of the little things out, you could hear the bass
perfectly, and I just saw them live on Feb. 15 (2006,) so this is
VERY accurate. Once again,
enjoy!:)
