Artist: From First to Last
Song: Kiss Me, I'm Contagious
Album: Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count
Tuning: low to high (D A D G B E)
By: Chris Foster (Idratherwatchyouchoke@yahoo.com)
This song has a definite sound of it's own on FFTL's
debut full-length (Epitaph). It's a lot more "hardcore" then some of
the other songs on the cd, and it's about desperado's and cowboys...
I mean, what else could you ask for?
And Sonny's voice is amazing. Enough said.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
. - palm mute
<>- pinch harmonic
* - harmonic
x - muted slash
~ - vibratto (hold note)
[forewarning]
I try my best to make sure everything is laid out neatly
everything is generally in time, but because of this
stumming may need to be defined by the reader.
