Soil: Give It Up
Transcribed by: mysticguitar77
YouTube Username: MysticGuitar77
Date written: September 13, 2011
Tuning: Drop Bb (Bb,F,Bb,Eb,G,C)
Notes: 7-string or baritone guitar recommended or a properly equipped and intonated
6-string will work as well. Painfully easy song that surprisingly hasn’t been tabbed
correctly thus far. Enjoy!
