SONG: "Dead & Bloated" BAND: Stone Temple Pilots TUNING: Regular or Dropped D. Well, it seems as if there's no tab to this yet, and I love this song, so here it is. As far as tuning goes, if you can slide your fingers up and down the strings fast, use the Dropped D option for a fuller sound. If you're like me and aren't that fast, the standard tuning option works just fine. The rythyms aren't exactly spaced or anything, but I spaced them to try to give you an idea of how it goes. Also, if something's wrong (and there probably is - this was whipped out in under 15 minutes) please send a kind, happy note my way. People make mistakes. I am a person; therefore I make mistakes. /===\ *KEY* \===/ / Slide up \ Slide down P.M.
