Staind - So Far Away guitar tab

Transcribed and Tabbed by: Levi Tootle

I know that Mike Mushok uses unusual tunings similar to a 7-String

or a Baritone but you can get the same sound on this song by using

the tuning for Gtr. 2. The only difference is that you need a good

bass player to play the low notes like on a 5-string bass. It's only

my 2nd tab so please be gentle.

Gtr. 1 (Acoustic) - Standard Tuning (Down 1/2 step)

Gtr. 2 (Electric) - Dropped D Tuning (Down 1/2 step)
