Promise tab by Eve 6

Tabs

Title: "Promise"
Artist: EVE 6
Album: Horrorscope
Tabbed by: Alex Stroshane ([email protected])

NOTE: After seeing EVE 6 live, I realized that my old tab
was pretty wrong. As near as I can tell, this is how their
guitarist plays it.

Use a clean tone for the verses and bridge, switch to
distortion for the chorus. Try using a little bit of chorus
effect for the bridge. I use the mid pickup of my Strat.
Hope you can read the tab ok.

x = strum muted string
\ = slide up

Intro/Verse
-----------

Palm mute, play the G+G string softly.

G-4-2-4-2-4-2-4-2-|-4-2-4-2-4-2-4-2-|
D-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-|

D-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-0---4-----|
A-0-0-0-----------|-----------------|
E-----------------|-----------------|

Lift your palm just a little and hit the G+G string harder.
