Hoobastank Same Direction Tabbed By: Erik Pehrsson :: animefansonet@aol.com I'm sorry, but I just felt like humiliating all of the people that ATTEMPTED to tab Same Direction. It's not the whole song, but enough to prove you all wrong :) (and yes, I do know the whole song) I'll tell you a little info. In Guitar World (August 2004), Dan Estrin (Hoobastank guitarist), stated that, "With 'The Reason,' the riff is almost identical to the riff in the opening track, 'Same Direction'..." Hmm...meaning the riffs were all played in the same key, the same style (fingerstyle), and each song has a nice little bass note that you can hear. And seeing as that in "The Reason," he plays the bass note, well crap... suppose that means he plays it in "Same Direction" also!? And also, if you've ever seen them live, you'd know he plays "Same Direction" fingerstyle and playing the bass note. :) Also, I've supplied the MIDI file that I made for it:
