Guitar tab: Everything s Ruined
Transcribed by Harley Jackson (*)
Here is my interpretation of this great song. I haven t made much of an
attempt at tabbing the timing; listen to the song to pick this up. I ve
also only tabbed the chords if there is some fingering in the bar,
otherwise I ve just written the name of the chord. I generally play the
barre version of the chord.
Notation:
F# / /... keep strumming F# (even if it s not shown on the tab)
(F#) play quietly
2h3 hammer on
h2 play the note by hammering it on
3p2 pull off
7b(9) bend
7b(9)r7 bend and release
F# E play F# cord then slide down to E
10/1710 slide up then down
