Jeff Wears Birkenstocks Ver 3 by Nofx
Nofx - Jeff Wears Birkenstocks ver 3 guitar tab
Tab written by Loquax - 18/10/03
NOFX - Jeff wears Birkenstocks
Album- Punk in Drublic
Epitaph records
Okay peeps, obviously Nofx have two guitarists and they both
dont play the same thing, so im writing two tabs -
one for Melvin and one for Hefe.
Melvin - Melvin's stuff is basically chords - bear in mind he uses
Power chords. On the intro, use the D chord shape and leave
Your pinky free to do the hammer ons and pull offs.
Hefe - For Hefe's Verse and intros, use the finger shape of:
your first finger on the lower string, your ring finger on
the one above, and your pinky to hit the alternating note.
(In the case of the intro, the alternating note is '9')
(strum your pick up and down over both strings used really fast)
