This is my first REAL post, so forgive me if I make any mistakes. Before I get to the song, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to r.m.m.g.t and a.g.t as well as Neveda. Ever since I started reading this group I've had more fun playing the six-string than ever. And since I'm still a little green with the guitar, this group has helped me a ton. Now I'd like to try to contribute. Thanks to all! Now, a while ago someone had requested the theme to the show "Friends," and I was waiting for a response myself. I never saw it so I decided to give it a try, and I think I got it. But remember, I'm not that experienced (this is only the second song I've figured out), so I would appreciate any corrections. Also, someone else will have to tab the riffs. And here we go...
