"Trippin' The Life Fantastic"
American Art
Tabbed By: S2S (Cory McKnight)
Tuning: Open D (D A D F# A D)
What's up guys? I've been working hard at tabbing out complete versions
of as many songs from this album as I can. Trippin' is my third attempt
at a tab from this album and it also happens to be the band's most popular
song by far. It is an amazing creation from the mind of a genius, so
without any further delay, let's get to the tab.

I am 99% positive that this is exactly how Brian plays it. The other
tab for this song is somewhat close but it's in drop D tuning as
opposed to the open D that Brian frequently uses. Anyway, rock hard
with this one and please rate, correct, and comment!
Key:
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
/ - Slide up
\ - Slide Down
~ - Let ring
. - Palm mute
