"Frogs" by Alice in Chains Guitar Tab


Here's my 1st attempt at a guitar tab, which 1 of my favorite bands, I just HAD to include, even though there are plenty of AIC tabs out there. This is a personal favorite of mine off of the unplugged cd, which I just love to death. A noteworthy thing about tuning is (as you might already know) is it'sjust tuned down a halfstep. These are the main parts, but there's some other stuff going on in various places. If you like piddling around with different parts continuously like I do, you can get away with what i have here, so enjoy!!
