Author/Artist: American Head Charge
Title: Pushing the Envelope
Album: The War of Art
Email: john1645@msu.edu
By: Alpha-Q
Tuning: Drop D down 1 1/2 steps (B,F#,B,E,G#,C#)(Low to High)

 natural harmonics
p  pull off
h  hammer on
b  bend
)  tremelo pick while sliding

Note: my first shot at this sucked, rate me again on this new version. if it sounds wrong 
its because I'm not totally sure if that is the right tuning.  What I did was in standard 
tuning, I fretted the low E on the 2nd fret and tuned the A string to that, then tuned the 
other strings and then dropped the E string.
