Interlude
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Stone Temple Pilots - "Between The Lines"
New single from Self-Titled 2010 Album
Main Guitar - Standard Tuning,
Overdub in Drop-D Tuning (after solo)
tabbed by jjhand


This uses fuzz distortion like 'Big Bang Baby'. I tried comparing to their
youtube concert video from 3/19/10. Some parts sound like a lower tuned
guitar, but bass plays melody in the main riffs giving a 'fat' sound.

Please rate/comment! Thanks
