------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ANSWER - Shane and Shane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: honmon3 Youtube: www.youtube.com/honmon3 =====2nd Guitar===== Hi guys, so when I was learning this song, there weren't really any GREAT, AMAZING tabs out there that were 100% full and accurate. Thus, learning this song was quite challenging, as I had to piece together the parts of the good tabs out there with the parts I had to learn by ear/mp3/video. So, I've been playing this song for about 3 years now, and I have it pretty much EXACTLY the way Shane and Shane play it. Some parts may not seem right/may seem a little weird and funky at first play, but I assure you each note in each chord has been carefully screened for correctness and accuracy to the song. This is not only a great song, but a fun one to learn on guitar as well. Enjoy and God bless. I highly suggest listening to the song to help you see/hear how the tabs are played IN CONTEXT with the actual song. Go to my youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtD2sfH0occ to see me play only the 2nd guitar part, EXACTLY how you see it here.

Having the open 0 gives it a nice open suspended sound, and throwing in the 2 makes it sound a bit more resolved. Hammering and pulling off and using both gives it a taste of both options. It's up to you! e|--1----0-0-0--0-0--0-----------3---3---3---3---------------| B|--0----1-1-1--1-1--1-----(0)----3---3---3---3--------------| G|--1----2-2-2--0-0--2------0------0---0---0---0-------------| D|--2----3-3-3--3-3--3------0--------------------------------| A|--3----3-3-3--3-3--3------x--------------------------------| E|-------1-1-1--1-1--1------3--------------------------------| Once again, strum ^that F chord according to the song. Tabs can't do it justice in terms of telling you how to strum. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
