Song: LONELY DAY - SOLO
Artist: SYSTEM OF A DOWN
Tabber's note:
This tab is, to my knowledge, the most accurate tab for the studio
version of the solo from "Lonely day" on this site. This tab is one
I designed from looking at other tabs that required multiple guitars or
overdubs. So I made this tab so people can play the solo with one guitar.
This tab is just for one guitar, however, I do include a rhythm tab at the
bottom if two guitars (one rhythm and one lead) to play. This is more of a
compilation that I made, for others to learn. The solo sounds better clean
to me.
GUITARS ARE DROP C# TUNING
