American Hi-Fi - Flavor of the Weak
Original Tablature: Al (Foodude12@aol.com)
Subsequent Versions: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)
I found the original version of this tab hard to follow in places, and
there were several bits missing. This is the third time I've revised this
this tab. The two guitar version was really an afterthought before, now its
properly written. I've also added information on the rythm to make the tab
easier to follow (although I wouldn't recommend following this exactly as
you may sound too mechanical - listen to the song first, then use the rythm
counts if you get lost). This file was produced using the song, and the tab
by Al - everything else is my own work.
Tuning: Drop D (Which is kind of annoying as it's only 'used' in the intro)
Speed : Around 150bpm
b - bend, XbY or Xb(Y) means bend note X up to note Y
(Y)rX - release note Y to note X (with finger on fret X)
/ or \ - slide to note (don't pick/pluck the string)
