311 - "It's Alright" From the "Uplifter" Album Eb Tuning (all strings down 1 fret) tabbed by jjhand I was suprised to learn that 311 finally did a song in a different tuning, since their catalog is mostly in standard. I got the chord positions from their performance on Jimmy Kimmel (youtube). Please rate or comment. Intro Riff (starting 0:07) - some ad-lib is used Nick (hollowbody w/ piezo)
