Album: Westing (By Musket & Sextant)
tab by Jackie Joyner
The main guitar on this song is probably in an alternate tuning,
but it's easily playable without it. Once again I am tabbing this
for one guitar though there are clearly 2.

The man riff in the intro and verses revolves around a bend/pull off
that looks like this:

G|-3b4p0-----------|
D|-5---------------|
A|-----------------|

After playing this in the verse 2x the next riff goes like this:
[note: since the song is fairly noisy/sloppy, some combination of
hitting all the notes like a chord and picking them individually
should work]
