The Classic Crime - "The Fight"
From the album "Albatross"
Tabbed by BKSTaxMan
Tuning: Drop Db
x = Mute (Different than palm mutes. Used to indicate harmonics in chorus
and verses. For the most part just lightly rest finger over the
last frets played or, on some, the next ones about to be played
to get the right harmonics...use the song to reference)
/ = Slide Up
\ = Slide Down
h = Hammer On
p = Pull Off
* = Palm Mute

Solo:
(Now for the fun stuff...
For the first part here, just bar the 14th fret on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
strings and use that as the top of your hammer offs...relatively easy lick,
but it sounds great!)

So that's that. Definitely my favorite song of theirs so far.
This is my first tab so rate it and all that good stuff if you can.
Leave a comment too if you see something that doesn't seem quite right
or if you hear something different than i did...always open to feedback.
Peace.
