Rock the Dragon
(The Original theme to the U.S. version of DBZ.) Composer Unknown
TUNING: Standard
This is the original American theme song to DragonBall Z. It's a pretty
rockin' riff that even impresses non otaku. Just play from the intro through
until the repeat, go back to the beginning of the main riff and play through
to the end. The tremolo should be done by hand, not with any pedal effects. I
like to use Dan-O Mini Effects Black Liccorice (minus the octaver) as the
distortion on this one. Use any sort of metal distortion effect with medium bass
for a good sound.
