So Long Astoria

Submitted by: [email protected]

Key: G# or Ab

There are 2 ways to play this song, key of G# without a capo and key of G with a capo

for the beginners. Since Kris vocalist/guitarist Roe is a left handed, he still play the

handed guitar but upside down. Only a few can do what he does because he plays similar

Jimi Hendrix. Most left handed guitarists are rearranging the strings in reverse and it's

time consuming. Kris Roe is really the man!!! he's fucking talented!!!

If you found mistakes on the chords, don't hesitate to comment or email me, I'll respect

opinions!!!
