xSong: Devils and Angels
Artist: Royal Bliss
Album: After the Chaos II
This song was also re-released (and maybe even re-recorded) and put on their
major-label debut Life In-Between album as 'Devils & Angels' because it is
a strong song and would probably help further boost familiarity and
likability with their major-label debut. (Yes they changed the 'and' to an
'&'. Why? I wouldn't have the slightest idea, but they actually are listed
different on iTunes like that)
***NOTE*****
I'm not going to bother tabbing out most of the picking patterns. It would
be more confusing if I did that, so I'll just indicate the chords and then
you can listen to the song and get the idea of how to pick it. It's pretty
basic.

Guitar 2 -Distortion
Eb ----12\---------------------------|----------|
Bb ----12\---------------------------|----------| NOTE: On Guitar 2, these
Gb ----12\--11/12\11/12\11/12\11-7---|------7---| chords and the rest of
Db --2---------------------------7---|--2---7---| them for the rest of the
Ab --2---------------------------5---|--2---5---|song are just single strums
Eb --0-------------------------------|--0-------| only for Guitar 2. The
acoustic still does its
picking patterns like it has.
Remember not to confuse the single
strums of Guitar 2 w/ the different
picking patterns of Guitar 1, even though
the way they are tabbed out looks like they
are doing almost the same thing in comparison.

NOTE: So you aren't confused by this Guitar 3 being used once, technically
it is the parts in Guitar 2 where there are slides and bends, but since it
never overlapped w/ Guitar 2 at those parts, I put them in its part to save
space. But this last measure at 3:23, it's the only time that these slides
overlap Guitar 2, so I just went ahead and put a 'Guitar 3' measure just
for that time.
