Artist - Goo Goo Dolls
Song ? Slide
Tuning ? Standard
/ = slide
NOTE ? When you play the chorus riff, make smooth transition.

This is the closest to the real thing without changing the tuning. Sounds almost exact. No one will know the difference. J-Rez likes all the alternate tunings, which gives the Goo Goo Dolls a distinct and awesome sound. Which is okay if you have 20 guitars and you don?t have to retune after every song.
