| GBS Guitar Tabs from Road Rage Painstakingly Compiled by Jane in Virginia |
| Since GBS has taken soooooo long to publish anything in sheet music, Jane has resorted to spending countless hours researching special tunings, strumming techniques and the like, to present a fairly comprehensive and accurate listing of guitar tabs, time signatures and words to the songs from GBS' newest CD, Road Rage. God bless her for taking the time to do this as many people are interested. Thanks, Jane! Please pay particular attention to the alternate tuning/chord instuctions given for selected songs. And without further ado...here is the Road Rage Collection |
