SKETCHES OF WINKLE - words and music by Ween
**from the album "The Pod"
Sketches of Winkle - by Ween
Tabbed by blamft (blamft@hotmail.com)
The guitars are a little sharp on the album, tuning up half a step
is almost too much, but standard tuning sounds too flat. You can
try both options and make your own judgement.
Key:
p=pull off
^=bend to fret after symbol

i doubt Deaner knows what he's playing there either.
Just play a quick succession of notes above the 12th fret.
