------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday Bloody Sunday - Pillar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jordan Email:[email protected] This song would definitely make U2 proud. Some new progressions and a few twists give it the Pillar touch; it's a great song. Tuning for Guitar 1: Standard Tuning for Guitar 2: DADGBE Riff 1 (Intro & Verse) 1st guitar clean. ¯This last part of Riff 1 is a different rhythm than the e|--------------------| rest of Riff 1. It's faster, so listen to the CD to B|---5---5---3---3----| get it down right. It's that way on all the Riff 1's.
