Rough Day
Days of the New
This is a cool song to play, except there are a few parts where there is
no guitar,just bass or percussion, and since I haven't tabbed the bass for
guitar...it works bestif you are playing with a band. If not, figure out
some kind of improvisation to fill the quiet spots.
The song structure is included below, and the tuning is NOT half a step down
as in a usual days of the new' song.There is also a second guitar playing
something over top of Riff B, that I haven't tabbed out.
It's a similar melody played an octave higher, (I think), it has a very similar
tone to and electric guitar.
Listen to the acoustic toned guitar to hear what I have tabbed.
