ONE MAN WRECKING MACHINE - Guster
Tabbed by: Peashow
Email: adgarrett28@gmail.com
This is my first tab so critique is appreciated. I’m sure my format isn’t all that
but I’m 99% sure of the accuracy. The reason I decided to tab this song is because I play
for a band my uncle is in and they wanted to learn this. After checking the other tabs
I noticed that the guitar fills in between verses were slightly off. Also, most
missing the F#m chord in the chorus (they had written it as an A). There are some
with slide guitar used in the chorus and the last verse which I didn’t take the time to
out, but could do upon request. I also didn’t note the second guitar which comes in
syncopated guitar upstrokes on the Bm and E in the verse. This is self explanatory
you listen to the song and I believe the chords are on the 7th fret barre formation.
for viewing!
