------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Nice to Know You Work Alone - Silversun Pickups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ahrum Email: Themoogledance@hotmail.com This is probably my favorite Silversun Pickups song, for its gritty grunge feel to it. This is also a landmark for me and my guitaring, for while this is a pretty simple song, I've actually completed my first entire tab. I've only been playing guitar for 8 months, mind you. To get a good sound w/o pedals, I cut the tone to 0 on my guitar, use the rhythm pickups, and turn the treble and middle values on my amp to about 3 o'clock (12 o'clock being normal)... it's a pretty sick sound, and I enjoy playing that way. UPDATE: I submitted this in Eb tuning, but in further listens of the song, It's definitely in Drop D... my mistake Feel free to e-mail me w/ comments.
