Artist: Lit
Song: Down
Tabbed by: Tim Herscovitch (Gringle@aol.com)
DADGBE Tuning
When doing the raking (x's), try to only hit the
low E and A strings, and place your finger at the
very end of the 4th fret. That should give you the
high pitched whiny feedback noise, assuming you have
enough gain (distortion) dialed in.

ACOUSTIC INTERLUDE
=====================
Repeat it a few times. If you want, you can have a
second guitar strumming the chords I put at the end
of this staff, it will give the interlude a more
complete sound, and I think it just might be the way
it's done off the CD.

Repeat this part with minor improvisation
a few times...
BRIDGE

Repeat the first part twice, then go straight into the
prechorus (I added it at the end of this staff).

The bridge launches right into the prechorus, so instead
of confusing you and ending at the "10" barre chord, I added
the interlude to this staff.
Hope you like this alternative to the other tabs out there,
in my opinion this is the easiest and best sounding way to
play "Down". As usual, this song doesn't have to be in drop-D
tuning, but it makes it a heck of a lot easier.
