Artist : Headphones / David Bazan
Track : Gas and Matches (Acoustic)
OK first things first, this was tabbed by ear so its near perfect. This is the acoustic
released on the suicide squeeze album. Its mostly in 7/8 timing, get over it =). I had
rearrange a few parts for solo guitar but this is how I perform it.
Tuning Drop D!
