Lostprophets - Fake$oundofprogre$$ Live
Tuning: CGCFAD
Tabbed by: Will Sharp

Ok, this is the best fakesoundofprogress tab that you will find. I know
thats blowing my trumpet a bit but this tab covers the majority of riffs
in the 1st Version, 2nd Version and Live Versions of the song.  All my
own work as well so dont rip it off!

It looks complicated but there is an order at the bottom of the tab for 
all three versions.  I would read through the tab 1st and then follow 
the required order 2nd as you'll understand it much better.  Don't be
put of by how it looks though!.

This part is Guitar 1's optional part - it is the overdub during 
the chorus that Guitar 1 plays if they don't duo during the chorus:

 scrap on the low C string (fretted at 4) an stops it by turning off 
 the distortion just when guitar 1 starts verse)

On the 1st version of the song, this section  (from "Both Guitars:")
is repeated twice while the 2nd version it is played only once.  It 
then goes into this:


Both Guitars or Guitar 1 (while Guitar 2 repeats the above again - 
			  this way was played at NME Tour):
(With this riff it helps if you lift your fretting finger up slightly
 after each group of notes is played to prevent ringing an make the
 notes sound 'blunt')
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
F|----------------------------------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4--4-4--4--4--4b5-4-------4--4-4--4--4--4--4-4------4--4-4--4--|

C|-----6~-----0~-----2~-----4~-----6~-----7~-----9-9-9-9----------|

Guitar 1: 
Can either play this: (for this version you have to hold the note and then
lift your fretting finger off it just as you play the next note otherwise
the distortion rings too much an it sounds pants)
					  x2
D|--------------------------------9~-------|-----9-----------9----|
A|-------7~--------7~--------7~--------7~--|---7---7---7---7---7--|
F|--9~--------9~--------9~-----------------|-9-------9---9-------9|

					  x2
D|--0~--------0~--------0~--------9~-------|-0---9---0---0---9---0|
A|-------7~--------7~--------7~--------7~--|---7---7---7---7---7--|

A|-7---7---7---7---7---7------------------------------------------|
F|----------------------------------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------------------------------|



Then play chorus again (w/ optional overlay - this overlay isnt played
			on live or 1st version but is on 2nd version) 

Ending (is Pre-chorus again):
Both Guitars:							 x2
D|-----9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9--|
A|---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7|
F|-9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9------|
C|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------------------------------|

This is only for Live an 2nd Versions: (distorted)

Guitar 2:	  Guitar 1: (could end on harmonics but they aren't
			     loud enough) 
D|---------------|---/14~------12~--------------------------------|
A|---------------|------------------------------------------------|
F|---------------|------------------------------------------------|
C|-4p2-----------|------------------------------------------------|
G|-4p2-----------|------------------------------------------------|
C|-4p2-----------|------------------------------------------------|


Different variations of this are on 2nd version a 10 is added in on the
D string just after the 12th repeat of the 9th fret (on same string).  

On 1st version, it is this version above played (w/ Guitar 2 playing the 
chorus chords over it) and then repeated clean like this (just Guitar 1):


After-Ending:
			x4
D|-----------9~-------9--|-----9------9~--------------------------|
A|------7-----------7----|--7----7---7~---------------------------|
F|-9--------------9------|----------9~----------------------------|
