CKY-Testing
Transcribed by Zachary Harmany (zth100@psu.edu)
Hey, First tab I've submitted because I noticed some corrections
that should be made. I don't think it's perfect but it sounds
pretty *** close. Listen to the song for the appropriate palm mutes.
If you've got any questions or sugguestions don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Make sure to grab any CKY you can find, they are a real kick-ass group.
I know you can play this song entirely in standard tuning, but I'm fairly
sure that their other stuff is down a half-step too, I guess it's a new
trend (go save up for your chromatic tuners!).

End
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CKY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
