Sum 41 - The Hell Song (adapted) guitar tab

Your rating:

PROPS GO TO: dude-ranch

Song: "The Hell Song"
Band: Sum 41
Album: "Does This Look Infected?"
Performed by: Deryck Whibley (vocals, rhythm guitar), Dave Baksh (lead
guitar), Jay McCaslin (bass), and Steve Jocz (drums)
Intro, Verses, and Chorus originally tabbed by: Andres Lazo 
Solo originally tabbed by: Rocko 
Altered/Corrected by: Braden 
Comments: I modified parts of the intros, verse, and solo to my liking.
The solo is exactly the way I play it, and it sounds just fine along
with Dave's killer guitar part.  It is missing some very small components
but I find this way is generally easier to play and goes with the song well.
I will mark the parts I made alterations to (no matter how small) with *'s.
And lastly- thanks to Andres Lazo and Rocko, wherever you are, for doing the
brunt of the work with this killer song.

this is only a small mistake but it made a difference in the song. other than that this is a very good tab and i gave it the best rating.
