------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIVE AGAINST THE WORLD - Story of the Year ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ryan Email: sk82x4@gmail.com After searching all over the internet for a good tab for this solo i got frustrated that they were all different and all wrong... This isnt perfect, im still working out the end of it, but heres a good start. feel free to make some comments. i noticed everyone trying to play it down at the 3rd and 4th frets, which leaves you not able to play part of it without jumping all over. Note that there is another guitar in the background that makes a few parts sound a little different. Tuning: Drop D, although in the solo it doesnt really matter. For the end of this first section (where I labeled above with an X, Y, Z), use your ring finger to hold both the G and B string at the 15th fret and bend at the same time - Play X, bend both and hold, play Y, play Z, unbend both. X Y Z e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------pb15--------| G|-----15~-13p12----------------------13h15--13---15b----pbr15---| D|-/12-----------13--------------13h15---------------------------| A|------------------13~-13h14h15---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-13p12----13p12----13p12----13p12----------15------15------15------15~| D|------13-------13-------13-------13---12h13---12h13---12h13---12h13---| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------16h18p16h18-| G|-----------------------12h13p12h13--13h15p13h15-15h17p15h17------------| D|------------13h15p13h15------------------------------------------------| A|-13h15p13h15-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| below, --18bp17... = (bend then pull) e|-18b-18b--18bp17p15--17--18bp17p15--17--18bp17p15--17--18bp17p15--15~~| B|-18b-18b----------h18------------h18------------h18------------h18----| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------| G|--13p12----13p12---12-13/15--15/17-17-----------------------| D|-------13-------13-----------17/18-18-----------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------| e|--18p15----------18p15----------18p15----------18p15----------------| B|-------18p15----------18p15----------18p15----------18p15------18~~-| G|------------17p15----------17p15----------17p15----------17p15------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
