Contradiction Acoustic version by Sonic Syndicate
Based mostly on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV0egUpvf5E << this video
I tabbed most of this by ear and by watching how Roland and Robin play, but as you can see from the video,
Robin's guitar is the one mostly in view, so this will be mostly based on what he's playing.
Suggestions are welcome, leave corrections in the comments. Enjoy. :)
