Still Waiting Guitar Tablature
Song: Still Waiting
Guitarist(s): Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh
Band: Sum 41
Album: Does This Look Infected?
Tabbed By: Tyler Brito
Tuning: Drop D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tabbed this before in standard and then when I got the Album (Does This Look Infected?) 
and heard a crystal clear version of the song and saw it live on MadTV and Letterman I 
realized it is in NO WAY standard, so Drop D, Drop your pants and play it. :-)

Also note: There are little differences from album to live, but this tab is mostly from
the live version on letterman. And some parts you may be thinking, where the hell is he 
getting this? Listen to this song on headphones. Whole different world. 

Key:
~  =  Let Ring
v  =  Bend Down
p  =  Pull off
.  =  Palm Mute
*  =  Mute
/  =  Slide
h  =  Hammer on
