Chickenfoot - "Avenida Revolution"
From Self-Titled Debut Album
Eb MajorEb Tuning
tabbed by jjhand


This might be the hardest Chickenfoot song, due to all the different
endings to the main riff and the very difficult solo. I can't play it
all, I had to slow it down and put down my best guess on the notes!


Crazy Intro - Move up the neck with tapping. Its similar to this:
