Transcribed/Deciphered by Brian King Notes: I have made this transcription for one guitar. There is an alternate fill in the third verse. I have included timing notes above the staff, using the standard system of 1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a, where each one is a sixteenth note (or rest.) Therefore, 1&2&3&4& means straight eighth notes, and 1234 means straight quarter notes. The numbers coincide with the onset of a note or rest. Triplets are noted by: 1 b c, 2 b c... where each note is a third of a beat. The time signature for Fall On Me is 4/4, noted at the beginning of each staff. NOTE: STANDARD TUNING. Have fun. My Internet address is: gt6851a@prism.gatech.edu. Call me if you need help. Does anyone want a BASS TRANSCRIPTION for this song? If so, let me know...
