The Donnas "Take it Off" album: Spend The Night     tuning: standard
tabbed(all own work)by: David Vest  email for feedback: fishbits@cox.net

This song really is amazing!  Rock this killer and authentic hasn't hit
the charts since GnR's debut, a real departure from all the moody
dropped-D
bands out there.  Donna R.'s rythym on this is awesome!  She throws in
all
kinds of wicked little picking variations (not tabbed), esp. with the
a-d-a
pattern.  The free-wheeling solo is great with a mix of chops and feel.
Check out the load of double-string bends!  It's a great song to improv
over too, and the lead is panned hard if you want to try your own stuff.

Dial the distortion down from Godsmack to AC/DC and go light on the f/x
and the bass eq to get her heavy, punchy but ringing tone.  Enjoy!
