Drum Fife

Band: Smashing Pumpkins
Song: Drum + Fife
Album: Monuments to an Elegy
Tuning: Standard

Notes
* Intro: sounds like two different guitars. 
* All big power chords should emphasize the higher notes, especially in the Bridge portion.
* Chorus Part 2: Lead Guitar is very hard to hear, but I feel it is very close.
* Chorus Part 2: Guitar 3 seems to accent the rhythm guitar notes.
