Friday Night is Killing Me - Bash & Pop
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Michael I.
email:motomyke@rocketmail.com
tuning: e minor
ok this tab was a pain in the ass but its done. a few notes: firstly this is
my version of the song but its 90% accurate to the original. secondly, this
is a three guitar song so i condensed both rhythm guitars into one and the
lead guitar just plays licks, so basically the rhythm is the main part of
the song, with the lead guitar refered to as licks a thru f. so learn the
rythm first and then learn the licks, dropping whichever ones break rythm if
ur playin solo. its tuned down half a step but if u wanna play it the
acoustic or coffee shop version tune ur guitar to d. feel free to tell me
ive f-ed up, but lyk i said this is my version.lastly thanx for takin the
tyme to learn a bad ass song by an underappreciated band. good luck with it.
