American Hi-fi

American Hi-fi - Flavor Of The Weak Ver 5 guitar tab

Your rating:
I found  the original  version of this  tab hard to  follow in  places, and
there were several bits missing.   This is the third time I've revised this
this tab. The two guitar version was really an afterthought before, now its
properly written. I've also added  information on the rythm to make the tab
easier to follow  (although I wouldn't recommend  following this exactly as
you may sound too mechanical - listen to the song first, then use the rythm
counts if you get lost). This file was produced using the song, and the tab
by Al - everything else is my own work.

Tuning: Drop D (Which is kind of annoying as it's only 'used' in the intro)
Speed : Around 150bpm

   b   - bend, XbY or Xb(Y) means bend note X up to note Y
(Y)rX  - release note Y to note X  (with finger on fret X)
/ or \ - slide  to  note  (don't  pick/pluck  the  string)
