Produced by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry with Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson. Jaded and most of the album are tabbed in E Standard, and three heavier songs in Drop D. The CD measures about 5 cents sharp (A ≈ 441.3), which most players will hear as in tune. On the original US CD, a short hidden reprise of Under My Skin plays after Avant Garden.

Notes

TuneLit's one reading of this song is about 21 cents below the rest of the album, at low confidence, so the button keeps the album value. If it sounds flat against you, try A 436.
Joe Perry's and Brad Whitford's parts (Whitford's slide part too) are tabbed in Drop D.
On its own, this song measures flatter: CD −16.2 ¢ (medium confidence). Tune uses the album's +5 ¢.

Notes
The main part is in E Standard, but one guitar part in the same tab lowers only the 6th string to E♭, and TuneLit's audio check also hears E♭ as the lowest note. Measured about 11 cents sharp, a little above the album.
