Guster – One Man Wrecking Machine (Guitar Tab)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Peashow Email: [email protected] This is my first tab so critique is appreciated. I’m sure my format isn’t all that but I’m 99% sure of the accuracy. The reason I decided to tab this song is because I play for a band my uncle is in and they wanted to learn this. After checking the other tabs I noticed that the guitar fills in between verses were slightly off. Also, most missing the F#m chord in the chorus (they had written it as an A). There are some with slide guitar used in the chorus and the last verse which I didn’t take the time to out, but could do upon request. I also didn’t note the second guitar which comes in syncopated guitar upstrokes on the Bm and E in the verse. This is self explanatory you listen to the song and I believe the chords are on the 7th fret barre formation. for viewing! Tuning: Standard
