Right from the horse's mouth. As requested, here's a guitar tab for Escape From New York (previously known as Rubber Cathedral). Let me know if you spot any mistakes - I've been pretty careful but there might be some. We've been playing this version live for roughly a year (there were multiple old endings that got scrapped).
I'd love to see some videos of people playing it - show me what you've got.

Re: Official Guitar Tab - Escape From New York
hii, recently I finally managed to record a sort of instrumental cover (a really raw one) starting from Neil's tabs and trying to figure out the other instruments parts by ear. Since I only had a guitar with an EHX MEL9 and GarageBand, i couldn’t really record a drum track, so is it okay if i add the original drum track before posting it?
P.S. Go easy on me guys ahah, i’m just an occasional player and the cover’s super raw, some parts definitely sound a bit off
