>Subject: TAB: "Ceremony" New Order/Joy Division
This is my first attempt at tabbing something out.
A augmentedA friend and I figured most of this out watching New Order playing
live. Any corrections are welcomed. I tabbed out the bass part for
a regular guitar. I will tab out Dream Attack
and Regret in the up coming months.
