Them Crooked Vultures - 'New Fang' From the Debut Album (2009) Standard Tuning - Clean Slide Guitar & Distorted Fuzz Guitar Tabbed By: jjhand Watch the rhythms. Most of this song is in 4/4 time, but occasionally a 1/2 beat is skipped making the second bar of the main riff 7/8 time. I try to note this where applicable. Thanks to the 1st Tab version for some of the rhythm part. Please rate / comment.
