CACTUS
As recorded by Gustavo Cerati
(From the Album FUERZA NATURAL)
Transcribed by gnolivos
This is an accurate transcription, achieved by analyzing Cerati's fingering and
chording during his online performances.
There are 2 acoustic guitars on this track. I transcribed the MAIN guitar
throughout, although the secondary guitar was included on the intro.
