Incubus - A Certain Shade Of Green (Acoustic) This classy version is quite different from the original and can be found on Napster or whatever Napster-style program/site you use. It was recorded at an MTV acoustic session, and, in my opinion, is very clever. This is how I play it and as far as I'm aware it is correct - if it's not please contact me at dan@keefes.freserve.co.uk - Enjoy.

The same goes for the solo - just improvise yourself. Don't take the tab too literally - just mess around with the chords as he does. --------------------------------- This is the solo of the acoustic version of a Certain Shade of Green, this song is so relaxing that's why I love to tab it! Hope You like it!!!!
