RIDE THE CLICHE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Here's a great song from a more than exellent band. It's off their third album: "Tiny music...Songs from the vatican gift shop", released march 26th 1996. It's in standard tuning The main riff must be played very fluidly, which can be kind of tricky, but thats nothing practice won't fix... So here it is.
