Title: A Story About A Girl
Album: Gravity
Tuning: Standard Half Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)
Transcribed by: Izzy
This is a great emo song off 'Gravity'. I think it oughta be their next single.
Key:
~~~ Vibrato
(no.) Natural harmonic
b(no.) Bend note to match pitch of (no.)
r release bent note to original pitch
h Hammer on
p Pull off
x Fret Hand mute
/ Slide down
Intro riff (Clean electric, let ring)
there is a slight variation on the third time at the end of this riff:
Verse (Clean electric, hit the lower bass notes louder)
[G] [A] [F]
Prechorus is divided into 2 parts:
Guitar 1 (Clean electric) plays intro riff x2
Guitar 2 (Dirty/distorted electric) plays verse riff x2
Chorus (exact rhythm not included, has some palm muting)
[G/C] [Am] [F] [G] [F]
Post 1st chorus riff
Guitar 1 (Dirty/distorted electric)
Guitar 2 (Dirty/distorted electric) plays the verse twice.
I'll update this tab for the rest of the song soon, cuz i'm not a good lead guitar player, and this song has too many licks going in the background. Also, there's a solo somewhere, so I'll need more time. But you can survive with these parts for now!
