Artist: Linkin Park Song: Pushing Me Away Album: Hybrid Theory Written by: Brad Delson Tabbed by: Drew Montgomery E-mail: royalfate@aol.com Tuning: Drop-D and down 1/2 step(Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) Key: * = harmonic, x = palm mute This song consists of two guitars, both of the same tuning, and is very complex. It will take time to get the hang of it, so be patient. God bless and ROCK ON!!!
