Pepper - Ordinary Day (solo)
by Jeff
No, this song is not on any album (or at least I don't think so)
but rather it was a free download that came from pre-ordering
Pepper's "No Shame" album.

The part with the "^x" is just some slow picking of muted strings
that I play to imitate the sound that Pepper uses there.

Tablature Legend
----------------
h :: hammer-on
/ :: slide
^ :: pick note toward high-e string
x :: muted note
That's the gist of it, but the real deal has some
staccato, lots of dynamics (changes in volume including crescendos
and decrescendos and more!), overdrive, reverb, and other lovely
additions.
And yes, I'm a novice tabber (and not the greatest guitar hobbyist
either) so this is my first tab. I know it doesn't look perfect
(especially rhythm-wise), but the notes sound spot-on
and it's a slow solo so the rhythm is pretty easey to
figure out. I used PowerTab to help me write this tab,
but my actual PowerTab file has totally incorrect
rhythm so that's why I didn't upload it.
