EXIT STRATEGY OF A WRECKING BALL - Diablo Swing Orchestra
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben Amend
E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Drop A
*NOTE*: Most of the guitar parts in this song sound best when picked entirely in down-strokes (as opposed to
alternate picking); this gives it more of a heavy, jackhammer-esque sound.
Because of the infrequent palm-muting throughout this song, I will indicate a palm muted note/chord with a
colon [ : ] beneath the column.
