Radiant City Tab by Deftones

Radiant City tab by Deftones

Guitar Tab

Played on a 7 String Tuned Standard with a Drop A AEADGBe
You could also use a 6 string in Drop A since in general you only use the top 3 strings

The main riff tab timing/rhythm isn't perfect, but it should get you most of the way there.
