Song
El Distorto De Melodica
As recorded by Everclear on "So much for the Afterglow"
Tabbed by Jason Pan (balaka@cyberspace.net.au)
This is really difficult song to put on tab, so I'm going to use a key
v - down stroke
^ - up stroke
/ - down slide (towards the head of the guitar)
\ - up slide (towards the body of the guitar)
b - bend note</em>
NOTE:When Everclear play this song live, they play half a step down.
