Ode


I'm not positive in the chorus if he actually plays the Bass E notes.  I'm using a strat and it gives me extra chunk when I hit them.

My Own Prison Guitar Tabs

My Own Prison



This song uses drop D tuning also.  I think most of it is correct.  Also, this is the version on their first release of the CD.  Really the only difference is the beginning.

This pretty much seems exact except for some of the solo
which I am not positive on, but it is better than the first
posting.

then it goes back into the chorus.  Then solo.  During the
solo it is kinda like this but the bass is just playing E,E
C-G,B-F#.
 

Alright, I finally got to see Creed in concert and I think
that this solo is pretty much what Mark plays.  However,
do not leave out the fact that I was drinking.

chorus again right after the solo.  That is probably not the
best rendition of the solo in the middle parts but it will
give you a start and might make someone else start working
on it also, for later posting.
