Song: Last Blues for Bloody Knuckles
Artist: La Dispute
Album: Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
Length: 5:01
============================================================================
Tabbed by: Raphael Bastek (raf_gpm@yahoo.com / UG Username: R-bizzle182)
============================================================================
Info:
I tabbed both guitar parts to the best of my ability. I'm sure I've made mistakes
somewhere along the line because I am by no means an expert guitarist, so
corrections would be lovely. I also included the settings that I use to achieve
the sound closest to that of the recorded track for anyone interested. I use a
Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive and a Boss DD-3 digital delay.

I know that's not the whole song, but that's all I've got so far. I'm sure this
can be used as a starting point for many people.
