song : gateway drug
band : the spill canvas

hey guys , i haven’t figured out the lead guitar good enough to
post it ( especially the ring – mode part is hard to find out ) but
i’ll do it as soon as i can
the riff tab is not that exactly but i think you get the right way
by listening to the song
so have fun with it!

C7 ( x 3 2 3 1 x )
