Marika Hackman – Hand Solo (Guitar Tab)

Chords

I love this song so much. I used live versions to make this tab for 3 guitar parts: lead, rhythm, and a third one that's a bit of both. I tried to make it as organized as I could since there's a lot going on in this song. If you would like, I also posted a separate bass tab, and you'll notice the rhythm part generally follows the bass part. [Intro] Lead: (lead guitar vamps open E string. Everyone else starts as soon as the lead slides up)
