Artist: Nickelback
Song: Flat On the Floor
Album: The Long Road Track 01
Tabber: Will Prince [email protected]
Tuning: Drop C - down one whole step w/ Drop D (C,G,C,F,A,D)
Oh man this is my new favorite tune! This song kicks so much ass, it’s unbelievable! It’s the second one I got done, so be patient my little string junkies, the rest are coming!
Intro/ main riff (00:00) starts with a big bass slide but I just rip down the neck from the 15th fret. To play this riff comfortably, it’s a bit of a pinky stretch but you’ll get it.

This little part in the bridge is a little tricky, its just light drums but what you do is take the edge of your pick and tap on the 12th note, just let the fret noise and feedback kinda build then head back into the verse.
