GODSMACK - "i stand alone6" Tablature

Official GODSMACK Tablature & Sheet Music »

ARTIST: Godsmack
SONG: I Stand Alone
TABBED BY: Luke

EFFECTS: The biggest effect being used here in place of Tony Rombola's usual wah-wah
effect is a type of voice effect. You can replicate this effect two ways:
1-go out and buy an actual voice box which is a type of thing that hooks up to
your guitar and goes into your mouth. So, when you play your guitar and open
your mouth, a "talking" guitar effect is created. This, however, is highly
expensive. In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, this effect was
also used in the song by Bon Jovi called "It's my Life" where the guitar
goes "bow-wow."
2-go out and buy a voice simulation stomp box. You can find them at almost any
guitar music store and run from 30-50 dollars.

The only other effect is tremelo. This is made by another simple stomp box which can also be bought anywhere for the same price as the voice simulator.
