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) Intro: Intro End: e |---------------------------------| e |-----| B |---------------------------------| B |-----| G |---------------------------------| G |-----| D |-3-5-5---5-5---5-5---1-1-0-1-0-1-| D |-5-3-| A |-3-5-5---5-5---5-5---1-1-0-1-0-1-| A |-5-3-| D |-3-5-5---5-5---5-5---1-1-0-1-0-1-| D |-5-3-| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & Verse A: P.M.
