Album: Sailing The Seas Of Cheese
Song: Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Guitar transcribed by CAM.
Like in American Life, this song uses volume alot for the
car sounds. I'll mark increased volume like this: v>
Play along with the song to know when to play verse,
chorus and intro riff. Good luck with the solo!
h =hammer on
p =pull off
b =bend string up
/ =slide up
\ =slide down
v =vibrato
x =muted string strike
w =whammy

Finally, a bridge to end the song.
