Life's Sweet Drug Written by SLASH's Snakepit Tabulature by Amba (Thanks!) song title: Life's Sweet Drug artist: Slash's Snakepit album:Ain't Life Grand Hye, this tabs were written by Amba(snakeman@musician.net). I never went through any music school so I am not too sure of the chord names I have entered here. I had referred to other songs and inserted the chord name here. This song was completely tabbed by me and as for the solo, it was done to reference with the tabs at the Guitar World magazine. This version is definetly not very accurate. As Slash always say: COMPROMISE. Try changing certain notes by yourself when you play. Guitar tuning is a Standard A-440 Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb. I used hardware similar to Slash(don't own a single Marshall stack). To play these song, you will need a little delay and distortion. Try using and equalizer during the solo to minimize noise. Advice on solo: Master one line before you go to the next. Solo seems impossible to learn, but dont give up. The bit is roughly 132bpm Lead(vibrato) [----------] [----------] [----------] [----------] [--(9)-----] [----------] Rhythm(Hold) F#m5 [--------------] [--------------] [--------------]
