Rancid Amputation

Cannibal Corpse
Tab
4.6(6)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Comments: I love this song. I think this tab is almost precise, and if you notice any mistakes, feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to fix it, or you can send me the correction. Also, I couldn't figure out the first solo. I usually don't tab solos anyway, so I guess it's cool that I even tabbed the second one. If you can figure out the first solo, feel free to add it.
