The Rock and Roll Machine
Matt Stroobant plays with a blues distortion, fuzz and also fuzz-wah so it helps with
sound if you have a version of these but a single fuzz pedal combined with amp gain will
fine.

Towards the end of the riff another guitar comes in the back with some rising feedback, then:

I couldÂ’ve put the old verse here but the thing is Matt plays the riff with palm mutingtime and he also introduces a Flanger or something similar for this riff.Verse(Fuzz Off, Flanger?

It looks repetitive on paper and it is when u play but if u get the feeling across it
wicked. Neways, I hope the tab is decent, please rate it and if you like Kiwi Rock and
