Song: Play Crack the Sky Artist: Brand New Album: Deja Entendu Tuning: Half Step Down(Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb) Okay, I know there are like two perfect chord submissions for this, but I figured I'd a tab for it with all the timing, upstrokes/downstrokes, the little fills in between. all the little things you can't really get from a chord submission. Anyway, here you go. Legend: U - Upstroke D - Downstroke x - Mute note ~ - let ring Usually, for the downstrokes you want to stress the top 3 strings(E, A, and D), and for upstrokes, you want to stress the bottom 3 strings(G, B, and E). Using this style, you get a sound very very close to the actual song.
