Band: Stone Temple Pilots Title: Interstate Love Song Album: Purple Transcribed by: Jamie Kral Standard Tuning Decided to learn this song but found all of the tabs up here to be insufficient. Some of them had parts right here and there but gave no strum patterns or really mapped out the song right. I can garauntee the Riffs and the Verse chords are right, yes they are hard to finger and play but they will get you sounding exactly like Dean Deleo if you practice playing them. Hope this helps.

On the first chord here I place my pinky behing my ring finger and lift the ring finger up as I am playing to get ready for the next chord. Pay attention to the fingers that stay on the same string from chord to chord and use this to help you make fluid changes. Start very slow and get use to the fingerings and changing between the chords.
