From: Harry <prawntobewild@madasafish.com>
Subject: a/american_hi-fi/flavor_of_the_weak.tab

Band: American Hi-Fi 
Song: Flavor of the Weak
Album: American Hi-Fi 

Original  Tablature: Al (Foodude12@aol.com)
Subsequent Versions: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)

I found  the original  version of this  tab hard to  follow in  places, and
there were a couple of  bits missing. This is the  second time I've revised
this tab. This time  I've made some  more corrections  and musical changes,
and  broken up  some  parts differently  to make  the  arrangement for  two
guitars  possible. I have  played the song  from this tab  and I think that
everything is  correct now. This file was produced using  the song, and the
tab by Al - everything else is my own work.

Tuning: Drop D (Which is kind of annoying as it's only 'used' in the intro)

b - bend
r - release
\ - slide
