"Not Great Men" by Gang of Four from Entertainment tabbed by: bennyshambles78 email: bennyshambles@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Andy Gill has a very specific, choppy style of playing, which you have to keep in mind when playing along. Hey also has a very brittle, barely overdriven tone. Although you may be tempted to employ a tremelo bar, he does not use one.
