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

Song

Stone Temple Pilots - Ride the Cliche

From: "Tiny Music: Songs From The Vatican Giftshop" Album

For 2 Guitars with Standard tuning

Tabbed by jjhand

I nailed the solo on this one and fixed some of the riffs up from the

previous tab! Hopefully you like it, so please vote or leave a comment!

The chords used were interesting, so I noted the chord names in case

anybody is wondering :) Check out my pro tab as well.
