Chris Cornell – Like Suicide (Guitar Acoustic Tab)
Auto-scroll
Speed:
1.0x
Chris played this demo on a 12 string acoustic guitar in the home recording:
There are at least two guitar tracks present. He uses a modified Open G tuning: DGDGBc.
An electric version would later be re-recorded for Soundgarden's Superunknown.
