Song: Queen Of The Rodeo
Location: Chained To The Studio, Heroin, Working Class Heros
Transcriber: Matt Rouse [gravity@match.org]
Origin: This file originally came from "Alice In Chains: The Rarities"
Check us out at: http://www.epalis.com/AliceInChains
Notes: This is a transcription of the studio version found only on
various bootleg CDs. The version included on Music Bank is
live and doesn't feature the nice lead guitar. I recently
discovered that this song dates back to the glam days, before
Jerry Cantrell was in the band. I heard this performed on a
concert tape from 1986! I assume the lead guitar was something
Jerry added to the song in the studio, as I've never heard this
played live with two guitars.
Gtr.1 is a brittle sounding six string electric with a chorus
effect. The struming pattern is pretty simple, but to
get it right you'll need to listen to the song or the rhythm
probably won't sound the same.

Woah wait...How could you have seen it in '86 when AIC formed in '87? And by the way, that link doesn't work.
Nevermind, I'm sure you just meant that it was just Layne on guitar so...yeah.
Thanks so much for the tab ^^ great job.
