Sooner or Later - Breaking Benjamin Tuning: CGCFAD (down 1 step) Acoustic Tuning: CFBbEbGC (down 2 steps) Now Fully correct!!! Guitar 1 - Fink Guitar 2 - Burnley Guitar 3 - Unknown (only used in INTRO) Alright, this tab would have been for real nearly IMPOSSIBLE to figure out without the book!! The lead guitar was tab to try to tab even with the freakin' book!!! Based Hal and Leonard's tab book, this song really has 5 guitars in the recorded version but I'm going to minimize it to 2 guitars EXCEPT for the INTRO!!! Some things have been changed to fit my tastes for the song! This song just hit #1 on the Rock Radio Charts!!!! A very popular song from a rising band. Check out their AOL videos!!!! Any more BB requests, just post in the comments section! Please rate! INTRO - Part 1 Guitar 2 - Heavy Dist. and Flanger NOTE: This riff is played 14 times continuously!
