Song

"Unwind"

by Oleander, from the CD "Unwind"

Dropped D Tuning: D A D G B E

Okay, the first note is tricky to make it sound right, because

it sounds kind of like a transition like this:

e--------------------------------------------------------|
b--------------------------------------------------------|
g--------------------------------------------------------|
d---------------------------<12>-------------------------|
a-----5--------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------------------|

N.H.

I assume it's accomplished with feedback, but since I'm

transcribing this "unplugged," I can't tell for sure.

Intro chords: 2 times gtr. 1 only, then 2 times both gtrs.

D---3--3--3--0--0--9--9--9-\--3--3--3--0--3--0--0--0--9--9--|

^This slide can be left out--

Just go straight to the F

Solo:

Not yet, I'm working on it.

There are parts after the solo, but it is made up of everything

else here. Just listen to the song to find what goes where

after the solo, then get charged up because some of it is pretty

fast. Enjoy!
