Song: Last Blues for Bloody Knuckles Artist: La Dispute Album: Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair Length: 5:01 ========================================================== Info: I tabbed both guitar parts to the best of my ability. I'm sure I've made mistakes somewhere along the line because I am by no means an expert guitarist, so corrections would be lovely. I also included the settings that I use to achieve the sound closest to that of the recorded track for anyone interested. I use a Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive and a Boss DD-3 digital delay. ============================================================================ Key: h : Hammer-On p : Pull-Off / or \ : Slide X : Mute <#> : Harmonic ~ : Let ring PM--| : Palm-mute ============================================================================ A : Guitar 1 (Standard Tuning) B : Guitar 2 (Standard Tuning) ----- Section I-A (Starts 0:03) ----- Delay- (E.

I know that's not the whole song, but that's all I've got so far. I'm sure this can be used as a starting point for many people.
