*Tabbed by Zachary Whelpley * * This is for learning purposes, not necessarily for fluid reading * For Fluid Reading, I suggest revising this copy, taking away notations * and trimming down comments. But by all means, use this as freely as you * want, and if you wanna throw me some credit, by all means ;) please do * * This is my first tab EVER so please leave me feedback on what I can * improve on, Thank you :) */ [Intro] Guitar 2 (Back Ground)(Best if Finger Picked)(Both Palm Muted, but you want the e string to have some resonation to it, while the B string is completely dead) NOTE: I added the 7x on the G, this is OPTIONAL, or possible in REPLACEMENT of the 10x (B) depending on what sounds good to you, I've done all 3 options and they all sound good, but doing G and B together can be tricky to get right Personally, I recommend holding all the frets down, and focusing on the G and e and letting the B get hit lightly with each Pluck
e|-----10---------10---------10-----10---------10---------10------|
B|-10x----10x-10x----10x-10x----10x----10X-10x----10x-10x---------|
G|--7x-----7x--7x-----7x--7x-----7x-----7x--7x-----7x--7x---------|  Repeat
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------|
(Sometimes this is deviated from, ex. a 10th fret on the e string might replace a 10x on the B string, its hard to pin down, even harder to put on paper, but when you play, it will feel natural, and come right out, I promise)
Guitar 2 cont.
On the 3rd line of every verse, the 10'th fret on the e gets lowered to the 9th
e|-----9----------9----------9------9----------9----------9-------|
B|-10x----10x-10x----10x-10x----10x----10X-10x----10x-10x---------|
