Love Stinks originally by the J. Geils Band
this is adam sandlers version of this song as heard on the wedding singer. it may be hard to play along with the movie, but its the actual song that i tabbed for, not adam's, but its pretty much the same thing...the movie just skips parts...anyways, im sure its 99 percent correct, just listen to the song for the timing and to get the sound right...so here ya go.enjoy.
key:
/ or \ = slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
~ = virbrato
x = muffled noise made when strumming strings when fret hand is gently lying
across the strings
b = bend
r = release bend
p.m. = palm mute
theres only one guitar besides the bass
the guitar uses some phase and chorus mixed with distortion

then verse two is played, which the guitar is the same as verse one
then the prechorus then the chorus again, then it comes to this which can
be called a keyboard solo i guess...the guitar plays the same as the verse,
and the keyboard plays something like this a few times...along with some weird
effects...
