Artist: Skrape Song: What You Say Album: New Killer America Tuning: Drop C (C G C F A D) Author: Mike Smith (sublime56@hotmail.com) This song thoroughly rocks out. Great riffs, solid beat and good vocals. Awesome in my opinion. The other tabs for this song have some crucial mistakes (i.e. bad harmonics, some parts wrong) and instead of correcting theirs, it's easier to tab my own. Also, both guitars will often play the same part separated by brief moments where they play different lines. If the two guitars are playing separate parts, I'll have it listed as Guitar 1 & Guitar 2. If it doesn't have that listed above it, then assume that they play the same riff.

When that one is left open, it rings the same pitch. You could also play a natural harmonic on the 5th string at the 5th fret, then roll the volume up and let it go into feedback too.
