Mind Riot Tabs & Lyrics by Soundgarden
Mind Riot
guitar tabs lyrics
This song is weird because of the tuning, it's fucking nuts. it sounds really cool, but
only Soundgarden make it sound this good. Here's the tuning
Low to High:
6-E 5-E (same as 6) 4-E (one octavie higher, 3 and 2 are the same)
3-E 2- E 1 - E (normal)
the sound you get is almost like the Chorus effect, or like a twelve string i guess
