Chevelle - Still Running guitar tab
Artist: Chevelle
Song: Still Running
Album: The Punisher Soundtrack
Tuning: Drop A# (A# F A# D# G C)
Author: Mike Smith (sublime56@hotmail.com)
This is a relatively new song and I wanted to write a tab for it because
it's such a sweet song. Pete Loeffler bares an eerie resemblance
to Maynard from Tool on this song. Actually the whole song is kind of
"Tool-like".
Anyways, it's tuned real low so you're going to have to switch tunings.
As usual, I put what notes each string is to be tuned at. Enjoy!
