REASON TO SING - Tonight Alive

E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe)
/ or \ - slide to and from a note
* - palm mute
. - release (stop) note from ringing out after playing it
p - pull-off
~ - hold note
Surprised there's no tab for this song yet. Rhythm guitar is quite easy, but the leads have some tricky
slides in them. I'm not sure if the final chorus guitar is completely right; I had to write it that you
pull off to the 9th fret because otherwise sliding down to x7x9xxx would make it much tougher. Enjoy!
If you are confused on any of the parts and how to play them check out my guitar cover on youtube:
