Author/Artist: Everclear
Title: Rock Star
Album: Songs from an American Movie Vol. 2
Transcribed by: J.Barker
Email: jbarx@msn.com
standard tuning (although some everclear songs since the "so much for the afterglow"
album are about 20 cents sharp of standard according to my tuner, so experiment a little)
progression is simple and so is the rhythm (4/4 time)
verse moves in half steps and shifts up one whole step
in verse changes. this is a good song so turn up the
distortion and have a little fun. email me with questions
or comments.
