In Too Deep
Written by Matthew Sweet(EMI Blackwood Music, Inc./Charm Trap Music 1993) Found on Altered Beast LP (1993)
Here's a rough and tumble song that borders on just plain noise! The song uses one rhythm guitar and the through-the-song-soloing guitar which I just don't think I'll ever get down. It would be too much to add here, so I'll just give the basic chord setup and let the intense ad-lib soloing up to you. This song is dark, yet light. Enjoy!
