STP - "Hickory Dichotomy" From "Stone Temple Pilots" Album (2010) Tuning: Electric - Standard Electric 2 & Acoustic - DGDGBD (the low D may not be needed though) tabbed by jjhand This song is tough to track for individual guitars due to overdubs, but I think this tab works nicely. Great slide guitar here! Please rate & comment.
