High Fiving MF by Local H
Track #2 on "As Good As Dead"
Transcribed by Scott Schuman
Dropped D tuning, tuned down 1/2 step
Um.... this first intro part is bascially played however you feel like it
with feedback and all of that cool stuff. When played live Scott swings his
guitar in front of his amp with open strings or an E chord, I think. Improv
it!!! -------------------feedback--------------------

After the feedback part is basically the verse riff. Play this 4 times
without muting it. Then when he starts singing, mute it.

When listening to the song, you know at this point you start over and
basically play the same thing, except the feedback intro part. The non-muted
verse riff is only played twice this time though. Then when you get to the
end of the guitar parts, you play this
