Message-ID: <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] (News manager - ulowell) Organization: University of Massachusetts at Lowell Computer Science Date: Thu, 14 May 1992 15:05:23 GMT Lines: 47 Due to the helpful advice of one of the readers on this Newsgroup, I have figured out what I HOPE to be the correct way to play "Black Flag" by King's X. Note the "E" is tuned down to "D" (helpful advice).

I hope that this is right, and that my new TAB notation is legible. I think that it's a good system, because it allows for tuned-down or -up strings, bends, and other things. Let me know what you think. -MetalMaster P.S.- If you know King's X, a heavy, wooden, bass-laden guitar sound should sound best with this song. Bon guitar-age!
