• Song:

    Against A Sea Of Troubles

  • Artist:

    Five Iron Frenzy

Well, yet again another one of FIF's best...it took me nearly 3 1/2 hours to figure out this song so it's
immaulate. (btw in a year or so I will have a FULL album tab out for "Engine of a Million Plots")

Just to clear up any discrepancies, here is the legend:
b Bend       *  Palm Mute [] Tremolo Pick
x Dead Note  r  Release   v  Vibrato
~ Let Ring   /\ Slide     () Volume Swell

Intro (optional: play [6] and [5] on high e string for the 2nd through 7th measures)
