Song: Eric Estrotica Artist: Man... or Astro-Man? Album: Is it... Man or Astro-Man? Tabbed by Brian Neal - bneal@ia.net Notes: This is a cool example of Star Crunch's rhythmic style and his use of dissonance to create that feeling of tension. Because it would be extremely tedious and error prone I can't tab each and every note in the chord/double stop parts. I can only sketch out the rhythms.
