xSONG: Ball Tongue
BAND: KoRn
ALBUM: self titled(1994)
TRANSCRIBER: Ashley MacDonald
Well here we are again. I just couldnt find a good, accurate tab for this song, this
FRIGGIN AWESOME SONG. Some of the following riffs have pretty fast chord changes, a
resonable guitarist can pull it off by themselves. Some parts require 2 guitars anyway.
So... here we go...
again....
Played on 7-string, tuned down one whole step.
