Thee Ol' Boozeroony - Kyuss
From the 1995 album "...And The Circus Leaves Town"
I was just casually playing my guitar a few days ago (as you do)
and I stumbled upon the riff for this song. So I decided to
tab it out. I played it along with the track and it sounds
spot on. If you think it's wrong, dont hate.. Each person
listens with a different pair of ears. I suggest listening
to the track through headphones with one ear piece in at a
time to get the timing for each guitar.
Enjoy.
