Yeah a lot of young people have f___ buddies as we like to call them. I should know as a college kid, even though I don't cause I've been in a very happy relationship for some time. Old Doll people are becoming much more, promiscuous (sp?). It's kind of like the late 60s and early 70s, but with shitty music

1. Shoot to thrill
2. Thunderstruck

If you are having a hard time with tabs make sure to check youtube for the lessons, just remember a lot of people improvise on or transcribe those songs
