Matchbox 20
Disease
This is an awesome song played by two great guitar players. It’s very challenging
and takes lots of practice to do it right. I’m tabbing it the way my band plays it
and I’ll tell you the difference between this and the way Matchbox 20 plays it right
now: the intro with the flanger effect is played by Matchbox 20’s second guitar, not
first guitar as I have it written. I like it better my way and I think it sounds
great. Enjoy!
