Crackerman Stone Temple Pilots
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of Crackerman is much easier to play and is acuarate and true to the song.
The tuning is pretty much standard except for the 'D' string which is tuned UP to 'E'.
(Note*) Practice the intro slowly with the exact number of notes per riff (15)until the
pattern is burned into your brain, once you get the feel for the rhythm pattern you're
ready to rock! Rock on!
Tuning: E A E G B E Low to high (tune 'D' UP to 'E')
