Creed - 'Bread of Shame'
From 'Full Circle' Album
Tuning: G# F# B E G# C# <- Tune all down 3 frets, then tune lowest string to G#
Tabbed by jjhand, most of this song is on one guitar
This song has a similar tone to Staind, who has written most their songs tuned to
Ab/G#, and it definitely adds some variety to Creed's latest album. Mark's tuning
and playing style in this song reminds me of "The Damage Done" (similar tuning 2 frets higher).
Please Rate/Comment so I can put up the best tab. Thanks!
