Talking Backwards Tab by Real Estate

Talking Backwards tab by Real Estate

Guitar Tab

This song is written for two guitars.
This tab is an attempt at combining a bit of the lead and a bit of the rhythm guitar together
so that it sounds like the real song when played on only one guitar.
This is my first tab so I'm sorry if there are any errors.
Leave a comment if you feel something is wrong and you can correct it. Enjoy!

INTRO PART B AGAIN (2X) (SEE ABOVE)

CHORUS A (1X)

FIRST HALF OF INTRO PART B

I think that's the whole song. If you're looking for just the lead or just the chords,
you should be able to find all of the right parts in here. If you're having trouble,
just remember to play along with the song, that's the best way to learn it.
