Title: California Album: Rip It Off Tabbed By: Matthew "Keiser" Yauch (Mattyauch@aol.com) Tuning: 5ths (Eb, Bb, F, Db, F) The tuning is to 5ths instead of 4ths (standard) according to Luke, who tunes his G string down, but since I didn't want to break my D string by tuning it up to F, I instead put my G down to F and removed my D. Heehee. Time: This is actually tabbed in double time for accuracy and readability, so 2 "quarter" notes in my tab are actually only 1 quarter note in the song itself. Strumming: I tried to tab out some of the strumming as close as possible, but some times different notes ring out, sometimes not! Where I noticed patterns in the changing, I tabbed that out. :D ON TO THE MUSIC!

Special thanks to Luke (I assume that was really him) for telling me about the tuning. Of course uber special thanks to "Jonathan Michael Elwell" who actually asked me if I finished this... and remotivated me! Without him you wouldn't be reading this.
