guitar tabs lyrics
"Better Than This" by Salt The Wound.
Tuned to Drop A.
I'll admit most of these tabs I have I just took from other sites. There aren't any Salt
Wound tabs so I had to learn this one by ear. Some of it is wrong, but its the closest
could get. Strings are written in standard but song is tuned to drop A. I'm sure plenty
whats on here is wrong. So, if you have any corrections, tell me, I'll fix it. (I've
what I think I probably got wrong.)
Legend
.=Palm Mute.
*=Pinch Harmonic.
T=Tremlo Picked.
h=Hammer On.
s=Slide.
That's all you'll need to know for this song.
