Artist: Ore Ska Band ( http://www.oreskaband.com )
Album: Ore
Tabbed By: Poncho de la Luna

My favorite song on the album, 6 of 7, Shounen S.
More than halfway done with Ore tabs now.
By the way, this whole song is played with very light distortion (except the
breakdown and solo), including the ska parts.
Also, in all of my tabs, I generally don't post the strumming pattern.
If a chord is displayed 8 times in a row, it's more to demonstrate that it
goes on for 2 measures, or is played as 8th notes.
Generally, when strumming patterns are drawn out, it gets confusing for
anyone reading it who knows what they're doing, and it's just annoying.
So you can figure it out yourself, it's not that difficult.
Oh, and I also don't usually point out what's distorted or not,
but maybe I'll start because I couldn't really tell for this song.
So all that being said, let's get to the song already.

So Ore is almost done. I'll start on some other OSB songs soon, and when I do, they'll
to appear on UG as well. PM me on the forums or email me (ponchosplayhouse@gmail.com)
any questions, comments, complaints,
threats, etc.
