Below-Summer - Letters To God  (guitar tab)

Your rating:
Tuning - C#G#C#F#A#D# (Drop your low E string to D, and then tune down half a step)





I know this part is played by the bass, but it is fun to play. I dunno if Hector slides to the 12th and 13th fret or goes to the G string, but it will sound better if you play it on the G string instead of sliding on the guitar. My advice for this part is to get a delay of some kind if you dont have a bass played and record this part, then turn it off when you goto the chorus. Also, try switching to a clean channel on your amp with lots of bass on to get a better feel.

You repeat this line 7 times and then do the next part...

C#----5-5-x--------------------------

(I think the last part is close. Hector plays it to fast...)



The guitar sounds a lot more difficult than it is at this part, mainly because you don't hear blue-sy sounding stuff in rock anymore, which sucks if ya ask me. You can re-arrange it to make it look a little more difficult (Moving to different strings and such) but this is the easiest way to do it.



The guitar enters with feedback by playing an open F near the cabs, then this part comes in when Max starts singing.

Bridge

It sounds like when the drum is hit 4 times, this is played:



C#--x-x-x-x

G#--x-x-x-x

C#--x-x-x-x



After that, this starts:

Palm mute this and let up on the mute as you go



C#-----------------------------------

G#---3h4--3h4--3h4--3h4--5p4p3--5p4p3

C#-----------------------------------



Do this a couple times. The bass should join you around the 4th time.



NOTE: I made this part really easy. I don't know if it is played with 1 finger or with the 2 finger version on higher strings. Judging from it's deepness, im guessing this is almost right.



C#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10

G#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10

C#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10







After the "Pissed off" part, go back to the chorus



F#----7--8--7--------------------

C#----x--x--x-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

G#----5--6--5-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

C#------------------1-xx-1-x-xx-1



F#----7--5--8--------------------

C#----x--x--x-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

G#----5--3--6-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

C#------------------1-xx-1-x-xx-1



F#----7--8--7--------------------

C#----x--x--x-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

G#----5--6--5-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

C#------------------1-xx-1-x-xx-1



F#----7--5--8--------------------

C#----x--x--x-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

G#----5--3--6-------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

C#------------------1-xx-1-x-xx-1

(this is played 8 times instead of the usual 4)

The studio version changes up the palm muting a bit. Listen to it to get ir right.



And then the bridge:

C#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10

G#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10

C#---10h11--10h11--10h11--10h11--12p11p10

(4 times I believe)
