Title: Iris (guitar & bass tabs)
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
Album: Dizzy Up the Girl
Tabbed By: Renz Edward "AnGeLs_BrEaTh" Sui
Version: 1.0
 
Tuning:
 
Guitar 1(Rzeznik's Part)BDDDDD O_o?
Guitar 2(Mandolin) Complete Tab on Next Version In Fact I haven't seen a mandolin myself:P
Guitar 3(Distortion)Standard Tuning
Bass = Standard
 
Ok so for the tuning you tune the Low E down to B next is the A down to D,
D remains the same, G tuned down to D, B up to D
 
(Careful on this string as it may snap off, if problem persist replace a high
E string) E down to D. Ya need a tuner or a
 
keyboard instrument to tune this accurately. But for me I just do it by ear.
Dream on kiddo! heheh jk. ya can do it too, it
 
just take practice! try octaving the Standard D with the other string and you
should have no problem.
 
This is my arrangement of the song so It's not guaranteed 100% accurate.
But I guarantee you that it will sound alike
