Breaking Benjamin - Simple Design Tuning: Drop C CGCFAD Legend - FB = full bend LR = let ring s = slide HB = half bend . = Palm Mute * - pre-bend note and strum OK, This is really an amazing song!!! This is based from a Hal and Leonard tab book, but differs as I have condensed the song to 2 guitars and changed a handful of things! If you want the whole thing note for note, then go buy the book!
