Nervous Kids - Tigers Jaw
Learned this song by ear, really really excited for the new record.
This song uses a lot of string blocking which can be kinda tricky but it's the correct
way to play it.
For those who are new to tabs:
s = slide (2s-7 means pluck the 2 and slide up to the next chord)
h = hammer on (12-h14 means pluck 12 hammer on to 14)
p = pull off (12p-10 means pull off of 12 with your other finger already on 10)
~ = ring out
Intro Chords (0:00):
For this intro bit let the last chord ring out.
I can't tell if they're playing the A as a power chord or not.
Let the last chord ring out. Played once
Make sure you block every string it says to, some chords will sound very wrong with an
extra note

Slide between these two chords. The first 7-7-9 isn't strummed, let it be
carried by the slide
