Impossible - Lacey Sturm
Tuning: Drop C#C#
Difficulty: Medium
Tabbed by: notgonnadie
This is another awesome song by Lacey Sturm off her new album "Life Screams". I have seen the guitarist Josh
play this song live and I'm pretty sure this is how he plays it. He uses a Whammy pedal at one octave in the
solo, but if you don't have one, I have included the non-Whammy tab as well. If you have any comments or
corrections, feel free to comment below. Be sure to check out my other tabs for the other songs on the album.
Enjoy!
