FANG ISLAND "SIDESWIPER" www.fangisland.com I don't know about the rest of their songs because nobody has tabbed them, but this song is played in DROP D. I had a bit of help from watching their live performance of this song on KEXP. If you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6n09kkdBFI OPENING - I can hear at least two different guitar harmonies.
