version 2
Dropped tuning to baritone, thats how he does all of his songs in the first two albums and on stage live.
Intro
( )- Strum Acoustic/electric with chorus fx
b|-------------------------------------------14|
G|---------13----13---13---13----13----13----13|
D|------------14----14--14----14----14----14-14|
A|-(4-7-11)------------------------------------|
E|-(4-7-11)------------------------------------|
B|-(2-5-9)-------------------------------------|
then same chords as above with dist. hold a c# (244xxx) into chorus
then a fill
b|------------------14----------------|
G|-13--13--13-13--13--repeat 8x total-|
D|------------------------------------| then theres some massive feedback
A|------------------------------------| and pick-scraping
E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
the chorus is c#(244xxx)then E (577xxx) then G# (x466xx)
Then he has a fill in the next verse where he takes the chords C#, E, and G#
palm mutes them, and plays C# E G# E C# E G# then F# (x244xx) then he plays a
C# chord at a beat that occurs later in the bridge in the bridge you can pull
of the 2 in the C# chord to make it a C#/B chord which the bass keeps doing,
practice and you'll learn the timing
he puts a little turnaround thing in after the "fake fake fake" thing
it goes
