"Almost Easy" - Avenged Sevenfold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: [travis]
Email: syn_gates_punk14@msn.com
*I was playing along with this song, and it's definently tuned down to Db.
*I tabbed this all by ear.
*The solo is almost dead on. It's typical sweeps that Syn always uses.
*The only part I'm missing is the Rhythm Guitar for the first half
of the solo. So if anybody knows what the Rhythm Guitar Chords are during
the first half, then e-mail me the tab, or leave it in the comments of this
tab. Make sure you tab it out in Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.
*I'll try to work on the other new Avenged Sevenfold songs, and get
them on here.

Tuning: Drop D, down half step (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) (low to high) [For all Guitars]
Key:
b = bend
h = hammer on
p = pull off
... = palm mute
/ = slide down
\ = slide up
x = muffled string (lightly mute with your fret hand)
1 = full step bend
.5 = half step bend
1.5 = one and a half step bend
() = bring bent note to normal
___ = which notes are downstroke or upstroke
V = downstroke
^ = upstroke
~ = vibrato or ring out.
*The numbers above the b's are the steps you bend that note.*
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Intro: Bend all of the bends slowly. Syn might be pushing down the wammy bar lightly
the bend
or he's just releasing the bend slowly. Either way works.
