Honestly Guitar Tablature
Zwan
Honestly
Mary Star of the Sea (2002)/
Honestly (2002)
Written by Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi 
Eb

This is my second version of Honestly and it´s pretty
perfect. I think you will like it. I tabbed the most
important Riffs and this is right if you were wondering.
To get this Zwan Sound tune down your guitars to Eb,
add some Chorus and keep the Mids high. Use soft distortion 
or (clean) crunch sound and sometimes a compressor. For the
solos Billy Corgan and Matt Sweeney use Fuzz Boxes and/or
mild distortion. That´s it!

Guitar 1: Billy Corgan
Guitar 2: Matt Sweeney
Guitar 3: David Pajo


Intro:

Everything with flanger/distortion/chorus.
