BLOWN WIDE OPEN
(As performed by BIG WRECK from the album "In loving memory of...)
Transcribed by: Scott Maybee (claypool2@hotmail.com)
Drop-D tuning tuned 1/2 step down
Pedals used: Distotion, delay, fuzz, phaser
This song may seem relatively easy because of its 3-chord basis,
but there is plenty of room for fills and variations in this song. My
tabs can only be so accurate, so you will need to listen to the song
to get it as close as possible to the real thing.
