Perfect Situation (ver3) Tab - Weezer

     Perfect Situation - Weezer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Bill Anglin
Email: billyanglin@comcast.net

Tuning: Standard

Info: I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. It seems Weezer uses a Wah-Wah
along with medium-heavy phaser to get the lead effect. To get this effect, I
highly recommend the Korg ToneWorks AX10G Multi-Effects pedal (cheap and great
quality). Enjoy the tab and feel free to comment.
