SHE'S KINDA HOT - 5 Seconds Of Summer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Guitar 1 is Drop D (DADGBe), Guitar 2 is standard (EADGBe)
This was quite an interesting song upon the first listen, at first I thought I was listening to the
wrong band! But the 5SOS sound definitely kicks in in the chorus and it's a much rockier lead single
than SLSP was. Some parts here were a bit confusing to tab like the solo harmony and weird slides
in the chorus but this should be pretty accurate. Enjoy!
