Message-ID: Sender: usenet@ulowell.ulowell.edu (News manager - ulowell) Organization: University of Massachusetts at Lowell Computer Science Date: Thu, 14 May 1992 15:05:23 GMT Lines: 47 Due to the helpful advice of one of the readers on this Newsgroup, I have figured out what I HOPE to be the correct way to play "Black Flag" by King's X. Note the "E" is tuned down to "D" (helpful advice). E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------3---3--------0--------3---3--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---3--------0-| A|--------3---2--------0--------3---2--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---2--------0-| D|-0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0x-3x-1x-0-0-3-0---0-3/-0---| ^ ^ E|-----------------|| This is for the beginning of the song and the refrain. B|-----------------|| What follows is the variation used for the lyrical G|---------0-----0-|| section of the song. Refer to the "^"'s above.

I think that it's a good system, because it allows for tuned-down or -up strings, bends, and other things. Let me know what you think. -MetalMaster P.S.- If you know King's X, a heavy, wooden, bass-laden guitar sound should sound best with this song. Bon guitar-age!
