"Half Of The Time" by Ronni Le Tekro Artist : Ronni Le Tekro Song : Half Of The Time Album : Extra Strong String Tuning : A half a step lower Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) This song is really catchy and guitars are cool! :) There are many overdubbed guitars on this song. Guitars in pre-chorus especially one guitar part on the right channel is barely audible. I couldn't copy that, and I'm not too sure if the other guitars are right. Anyway, this song is very easy to play. Enjoy!
