xArtist: Staind Title: Me Album: MTV Unplugged (2001) Tabbed by: Me ([email protected]) Please read this ! Hey everybody ! I've been trying to play all of the unplugged concert for a few months now and most of the tabs I found on the internet were really wrong. As most of you know Mike Mushok uses a baritone guitar which is like a seven string without the high e string. The problem is that your normal six string just wont tune down to his tuning (ADADGB), so I tabbed it out for normal drop-D guitar and I guaratee you my tabs are 100% accurate, just play along the dvd and you'll see. The way I tabbed these is by always trying to find a substitute for the note on the low A string to recreate the tonality.I also watched the dvd and I'm sure this is how they play it. The songs I haven't completely figured out yet are "pressure", "It's been Awhile" (which has 3 guitars in it!!!), "cant believe" and "fade". I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows how these songs are played in the unplugged and helped me. Alright, here we go! Enjoy! Notation legend is at the bottom.
