p.s. if there are 2 guitar players around, one person play the crap at the

top, and another play the samething, but just improvise.

3rd String-5th string

4th String-6th string,

meaning, the other person play a nice bassy part, just following the same

shit at the top, but using 3rd string as the 5th string.

Sringe Toting PIlots!) anything, or if your just sitiing around your Dorm,

bored, and if want to talk about modern music, mail me!
