Everclear - How Soon Is Now? guitar tab
How Soon is Now?
As recorded by Everclear on "Jabberjaw #6: Pure Sweet Hell"
Tabbed by Jason Pan (balaka@cyberspace.net.au)
NOTE: The Fills are played straight over the top of the Rhythm guitar's riffs. You'll know
what part of the riff to play the fill in, if you've heard the song. The same goes with
the solos in the bridge they are played over the rhythm guitar, but there is no rhythm
guitar in the outro.
The E chord is an open E chord
The E(2) chord is an 7th fret A-shaped barre chord
