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.

keep sneaking in my show tonight
