Here's a more in depth tap for Born This Way. It's an awesome song off OXYGEN:INHALE, and it's a
fun one to play. Credit to theefires168 for the chorus and part of the verse.
Intro Solo:
This is played on a slide guitar, but this is tabbed to sound as close as possible with only regular
techniques and equipment.

1 2
1: Start on the 6th fret and bend the note up to the 8th fret before picking.
Then after you pick bend down to the 6 then slide to 4 in one fluid motion.
2: Same as before but add a very slow bend up to the 6th fret.
