Sweet show, I was there for that 4 night run w/ my wife.  I'll try to get a listen in today, but I'm pretty busy.  One good reason why: I am sending my Analogman Bicomp back for a refund and an exchange and am getting his Orange Squeeze pedal.  Gonna take the refund and am going out to buy Keeley's 4 knob comp @ a local music store that has one today.  Sweet!  Best of both worlds!

NICEEEE, Enjoy i use the same comp, lets you have some sustain when you dont want your ts9's on, very clean, and quiet, have fun with that

Stiles did you ever figure this out?  We play Rock and Roll in my band and I can tell you that the tab on this site is definitely not right, so you were correct w/ your original assumption.  Here's what I've posted over @ Emil's:

Jenny said when she was five years old you know her
Parents will be the death of us all.
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars you know they
Ain't gonna help us at all (not at all).

She turned on that L.A. station couldn't believe what she heard at all.
She started dancin' to that fine fine music, her life was
Saved by rock and roll.


Repeat chorus (substitute "complications" with "amputations")

Vamp on C & Bb6 "it was alllll-right", etc.

Repeat Solo

Start Jam in C & Bb6 and take off from there.  C mixolydian works well.

Hey Scott - can you replace this tab with the one that's currently on this site?  And on another note...can you show me in a PM how to update/change/add tab to the chords section?
