Artist: Goo Goo Dolls Song: "Name" Album: A Boy Named Goo Previously tabbed by: Zack Smith: shadysmith@hotmail.com (std. tuning): Rafael del Valle Fuentes: dmitri46@hotmail.com Zach Smith did a pretty nice job of it previously I will say. With the open tuning it's an extremely tough song to decipher. It's one of my very favorites and have a very significant "ah-ha" to share about the tuning, and the corrected Lower the 6th string E to D Raise the 4th string D to E (ah-ha!) Raise the 3rd string G to A Lower the 2nd string B to A

For the solo it is actually just the opposite. The second guitar adds a 2nd string melody w/ringing open 1st string over that.
