Judith Guitar Tablature
ATTENTION, This is arranged for one guitar, because my band 
doesn't have a second guitarist.  Thus, I use octaves when 
possible to thicken the sound.  It sounds good when 
we play it.  

Tuning- drop B (B F# B E G# C#)

APC perform this song in drop B, but
who the hell plays in that?  So my band just plays it
in drop C (C G C F A D). 

For this song, you need reverb, slight delay,
an octaver, a clean channel, a distortion channel 
and a slide.  And the slide is not absolutely necessary.

* On the album, he plays Chorus - Part 2 under Maynard's scream, 
but twice I have seen them play it differently live, and I like it 
better.  Instead, re-play Bridge - Part 3 and it plays better with 
the vocals. *
