Band: Systematic
Album: Somewhere in Between
Song: "Beginning of the End," Track #2.
Alright guys, this song has a peculiar tone or chord shape
or something that just doesn't sound normal to me. I tabbed
it out just using straight power chords and it sounds good,
but if any of you know of another way to play it let me know.
I've got the notes right, I just think that he's using a
bizarre voicing of the same chords. Anyways, drop your guitar
down two whole steps and here it is, just using power chords.
