“They Looked Like Strong Hands” (acoustic)
Bayside
Tabbed by Brad Vincent
Tuning: C# F# B E G# C#
Bayside’s Acoustic album is one of my favorite albums. This is a
good song that no one seemed to get right all the way and I didn’t have
anything to do so I thought I’d try and see what I could do to it. I know
there are two guitars in it but I kind of just mixed them the most fun way
to play them. You don’t have to play it exactly how I’ve tabbed but as long
as play the base chords and fiddle around with them it all sounds good. Please rate/comment
