First Rule Of Thumb

Brent Mason: First Rule Of Thumb Brent Mason:First Rule of Thumb Tabbed by Van Etten 12/31/06 Please note Dropped tuning My apologies to Brent, this is as close as I can get it. This tab is a framework. Brent has many nuances that just can't be tabbed. Flesh it out on your own. I did not tab the solo, will do separately.
