Red Vox – I Dont Mean To Complain (Guitar Tab)

Auto-scroll

This song is mostly synths so the synth parts are transcribed for guitar. There is a few parts that are actually guitar though. Like many songs on this album it uses a SYNTH9 Pedal, so most of the overdrive parts are probably using that pedal. There's a number of things to read in this one, so take your time learning. [Verse 1] [0:04] [The first few seconds are bass, so start here.] [Rhythm] [Clean Guitar]
