System of a Down - Aerials
>From Toxicity
Original transcription by Sergio Moreno 
Edited somewhat by Matthew Smith 
Edited by Brandon 

This is an excellent song. I have fixed the tab to 100% accuracy because 
I get my tabs from a very reliable source, and I know for a fact it is 
absolutely correct. There are actually 2 guitar parts in this song, the 
second, however sounds like a cello, but it is possible to get that effect
from a good multi effects processor.If you have a zoom effects processor 
try using violin effect.

tuning: C G C G B E
Time: 4/4
