Nofx - Mean people suck guitar tab
MEAN PEOPLE SUCK by NOFX. Album: S&M Airlines (1989) 1/2
You'd better set your distortion as distorted as you can, because otherwise
the first note won't last very long. Anyway, this song has one of the coolest
NOFX-riffs I have ever played.
A=lead guitar B=background guitar A&B=both guitars
