Better Than Ezra - "In The Blood" From the album "Deluxe" Standard Tuning (EADGBE) tabbed by jjhand This is a great 90's alternative rock radio song I used to hear all the time. The lead guitar part uses a heavy flanger that makes the notes warble in pitch and pulse like a tremelo. Kevin Griffin plays well on each guitar track & sings a great melody in this one. Please rate/comment! Intro - Guitar 1, mild Dist.
