SLIDE by THE GOO GOO DOLLS Guitar transcription by Nathan Gilera Hayag, RRT For comments, suggestions & violent reactions, Email me at [email protected] STANDARD TUNING with open d ( E A D G B d ) CAPO ON 1ST FRET CHORDS : Em - 022030 D - xx0230 C9 - x32030 G - 320030 G/B - x20030 *** We all know The Goo Goo Dolls used a weird alternate tuning of D# A# D# G# G# d# for this song--something which is tedious to do & very time-consuming. You might also break a couple of strings in the process. In short, it's a headache to play! So I came up with this tab to make our lives a whole lot easier. Just drop the 1st (e) string to D and you're good to go. If you love the song so much but too lazy to dabble with the machine heads then I guess you should opt for my version.
