All Ends Well Alter Bridge
Alter Bridge - "All Ends Well"
From the album 'Fortress' (2013)
Drop D Tuning, down 1 fret
tabbed by jjhand
This song has one of Mark's difficult finger picking parts but is a
very warm uplifting song with nice dual guitar harmony throughout.
Please rate or comment.
Intro/Verse Part 1 - played 2x

triplets throughout. Takes a little practice!
