EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY - LAST KNOWN SURROUNDINGS
from TAKE CARE, TAKE CARE, TAKE CARE (2011)
This is my favorite EITS song so I thought I'd improve on the other tab up right now. Unfortunately, I don't
believe I'll be able to tab out the third guitar in this song, but he is using an ebow and a regular slide to
get that effect. If you have an ebow, I'm sure you can play around with it to get a similar sound as this song
