Incubus - Pendulous Threads guitar tab
This is a pretty complex song, especially the solo, which took me a while to tab out,
i'm still not sure if it's 100%. Do what you want with the optional notes. The end is
in a different key than the rest of the song I think, so the chorus notes change twice.
Key:
h = hammer on
p = pulloff
/ = slide
b = bend
()= optional
t = tremolo pick
