Angry Chair Tab

by Alice In Chains



This is how my band plays it. I'm working on the solo so it may not be completly
correct but it should be close. This is a completely by ear transcription. I can't
find a completely correct tab which is sad for such a great song so I decided to

Tuning: EbAbDbGbBbeb

qb:quarter bend
hb:half bend
fb:full bend
h:hammer-on
p:pull-off
/:slide down
\:slide up
r:reverb
v:vibrato
x:muted string
That's about it for this song.

During solo Guitar 2 play Bridge

End of song slide up high eb string slowly with little bends in between and
then lightly back down (almost unnoticable but its there!)

I don't think I'm forgetting anything...
