Ween – Among His Tribe (Guitar Tab)

Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E)
Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

Over the years, I've figured out two different ways to play this, so I've updated this to show both versions. The first version requires some slightly complicated fingering with your sissy little pinky, so I've included a second version that is technically easier but requires a lot of re-tuning. Choose whichever suits you. ---------------------------------------- VERSION 1: ----------------------------------------
