The Used- Listening (Acoustic)
This is a self-written acoustic version. A friend and I were sitting
around one day, listening to this song and decided to write an
acoustic version of it. You can play it softly, or you can beat the
sh*t out of you guitar playing it. Your choice, they both sound good.
This is the first time I've ever tried anything like this so cut me
some slack. Guitar 1 is the rhythm I guess and the chords will be above
the lyrics. Guitar 2 is kind of a lead and it will be tabbed under the
lyrics.
The first verse is a bit unorthodox because half-way through Guitar 2
removes its capo for the rest of the song. That's the only slightly odd
part of it.
You can figure out timing and repeats with the tabs and the strumming with the chords.
Tuning: Guitar 1- DADGBe
Guitar 2- DADGBe (capo on 2 through middle of first verse)
Chords: G- x-x-5-4-3-3

(OK, in this part with the static and piano, Guitar 2 plays the chorus, and Guitar 1 plays the piano part.
I don't know if this sounds good, because we can't figure out the piano part, but if you can, have fun with it)
