Band: .38 Special
Song: Wild-eyed Southern Boys
Album: Wild-eyed Southern Boys
Tuning: Standard
Transcribed by: aig91
Here’s my attempt at figuring out Wild Eyed Southern Boys.
I’m pretty sure that it’s correct for the most part. Most of
the parts are there. The only thing missing is the outro solo.
I’m working on that and will edit that in when I work out a
few tricky notes. But this is what I have for it and I hope
that this can be helpful to someone.
Legend:
h= hammer on
p= pull off
b= full bend
^= half bend
r= release bend
/= slide up
\= slide down
x= mute
~= vibrato
