I Need You by The Muffs
Not much to say, it's a pretty cool song that I'm sure not too many people know... I was
set on learning this song when I first heard that opening riff, and after not being
to find any tabs for it, I made my own. Suck it, internet. By the way, the "solo" is
weird bends and noises, and I couldn't really figure it out...
h = hammer on
p = pull off
b = Bend
r = Release
~ = Vibrato
X = stop/mute note
