Song: Driving Through Detox
Band: The Smalls
Album: The Smalls
Label: Smallsong/Independent
Written By: The Smalls
Tabbed By: ultimatelefty
Tuning: Drop D
Here's Driving Through Detox, the first song song off of the The Smalls' debut self-titled
album, which in my opinion is a freaking amazing album from start to finish
(as are all of their albums)! Raw and gritty.
I play the song in drop D (even though you could play it in Standard tuning) because in my opinion
the Pre-Verse/verse riff is difficult to play with regular power chords. Hopefully I did a good
job, please rate, comment, and enjoy!!
