Say Anything – Yellow Cat Slash Red Cat (Guitar Tab)

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

The tab I found on this site didn't sound right at all, so here’s my attempt at the song. It took me a while, but it sounds right to me, and sounds quite good when playing it with the music. I have also tabbed the solo and various other parts of the song. Enjoy. (Please rate/comment !!) The intro is fairly messy, with a few FX and layer applied. The main things to play are are as follows: At the start, a lot of open strings are played, specifically the high e and B strings. Listen to the song and you’ll hear this. After the open hi-hats are heard, there is a small progression on that goes:
