I'm Ready - Royal Trux
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard EADGbe
If you're a Trux fan or you're just following these tabs I'm making
Shoot me a message and we can talk Trux.
I wear a slide on my ring finger for this one.
Those C's & D's at the bridge I play just the b & A augmentedA strings with my pointer and middle finger,
letting the G+G ring out and muting the D. Or you can grab a friend to do all the background stuff.
I'm a big fan of theirs and I've collected loads of live bootlegs.
Some of which I take tab inspiration from, but for the most part I just tab a mix of
what I play and what Neil plays. Whatever seems right.
Like this first part- those chords AFAIK show up live only.
On the album it's this descending distorted drums/traintracks sound that isn't quite guitar.
Maybe when you play it just have your drummer stomp it out over your playing!
