"Head on Collision" by New Found Glory There wasn't a tab for this song, and I liked the little guitar solo where that change part comes about two minutes into the song. It's mostly chords with the exception of the intro and the solo, unless you are playing in a band with two guitarists, in which case the lead guitar plays the intro over the second part of the chorus (D and Db), and the solo over the ending part of the song, but it is not very noticeable or necessary to play this song. Enjoy, and send comments, suggestions, etc. (P.S. This is my first tab, so go easy). Standard Tuning E A D G B e
* The Db chord you play is what I like to call a Blink 182 chord. Tom DeLonge uses this type of chord a lot. it looks like this: x 4 7 6 x x So you are really just taking a D chord, and sliding your index down a fret, and picking up your pinkie, replacing it w/ your middle one fret down. Intro A--------5--4--5--4--5--7--5--4--5--4--5--4--5--7--5--4 (exact amount of times) After this you go right into the power chords.... A B D Db* D Db (play the A once open, then mute it the next few times you hit it) Verse (very simple) A F# Play these chords clean w/ pick or distorted w/ your thumb strumming them. Mostly, the verse is filled in by drums and bass (e-mail me for the bass part. i could figure it out if you want). Pre Chorus high E (on 7th fret of A string)---> he is singing "and it feels like...." (Just play E until you he says "I'm at an all time low", then go back into the intro/chorus starting w/ A). Chorus Same as intro A B D Db D Db Solo (this is much easier than it looks. most of it is getting the switch down between muted and unmuted notes. other than that, it's a breeze and it sounds cool). I only included the three strings it is played on, because it fit much better into my e-mail this way. h= hammer on; p=pull off (all bold notes are muted) A----------------------------------------------7--7-------------5--5--------7 D-----7--7--7------7------7----------------------7--9--7----------6h7--------6h7 G---------------6------9-----6---6h7p6------------------------------------------ You repeat this a few times, then at the end, you play a D power chord into the end of the chorus (beginning with 7 on the A fret to the end)--->you'll get it when you listen to the song. You finish with the Pre Chorus (E) into the Chorus a few times, then you're done.
