========================================================== Title: Too Close To Hate (Acoustic) Artist: Sevendust Album: Sevendust/Southside Acoustic Double Wide Tab Author: William Bowen E-mail: williamrbowen@gmail.com ========================================================== This is a guitar tab for the acoustic version of "Too Close To Hate" by Sevendust. This transcription will not accurately apply to the electric version, so please don't tell me I have it wrong based on that. I happen to like the acoustic version better anyway, it's more musical and shows off the true talent of Sevendust. I have played it solo acoustic and it is very difficult to pull off, especially with the singing, so I recommend another person. I have provided all of the pieces, they should be easy to assemble. This is my first tab, feel free to provide any constructive feedback. ========================================================== TUNING: E -> B (down 2.5 steps/5 notes) B -> A (down 1 steps/2 notes) G -> E (down 1.5 steps/3 notes) D -> B (down 1.5 steps/3 notes) A -> F# (down 1.5 steps/ 3 notes) E -> B (down 2.5 steps/5 notes) Note: if you don't like keeping your guitar detuned all the way you can play it in a higher key using DADGCD from top to bottom and save re- tuning a few notes. I generally find this to be easier unless you are a Sevendust cover band or just keep your guitar low all the time. ========================================================== INTRO/VERSE (Guitar 1) Repeat this figure, let the open B ring slightly between figures: B-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------0-----------0-----------------------------------------| F#--5p-0-0-h3---5p-0-0-h3---5p-0-h3p-9------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------| INTRO/VERSE (Guitar 2) Play these accented chords over the above figure, listen to the song for timing B-------------------------------------------------------------------| A---0-0-0-0---------------------------------------------------------| E---7-7-7-7---------------------------------------------------------| B---6-6-6-6---------------------------------------------------------| F#------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------| INTRO BASS LINE Repeated 16th notes (I abbreviated each line, listen to the recording for the note change) - I recommend playing this over the above figure if you have two guitars and no bass B-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------| F#---5555--11-------------------------------------------------------| B--------------5555-4444-5555---------------------------------------| IN BETWEEN VERSES Syncopated repeated chords...
