Album: Bang Bang
Tabber: Andrew Walls
email: lesswalls@hotmail.com (its a pun on les paul, get it?)
Well here it is people, the first Dispatch Tab on the internet! EVER! The first of many
i hope because the whole reason i did this in the first place was because all you
lazy real tabbers out there havent done any yet! Well anyway, please enjoy, i know
that this tab is 100% correct for a fact (i verified by watching a live performance).
Its not a hard song to play and to recreate the sound i would just suggest using your
bridge pick-ups (fyi Chad plays an epiphone les paul, flatbody), but im sure you can
figure it out on your own. I love these guys and i have a feeling that they are gonna
bust out big real soon. Conincidently, i actually take my guitar lessons from the same
guy who tought Chad how to play guitar, which i think is a wicked cool thing of course!
Okay well i will stop the rambling session and get on with the music, enjoy, and please
email with any kind of suggestions or if you know how to play any other songs (Bang Bang
or the General especially) and for all you people who don't know these guys, get your ass
on napster before it closes and download all songs possible! (i recommend "the General"
for all you Dispatch virgins)

Okay perhaps i have over complicated things by trying to write out the strum patterns, its
not hard at all but difficult to recreate in Tab. Basically its just the simple progression of
the root 5 C#maj barre then up to D# briefly and then just drop that done onto the 6th string
(G#maj/A#maj)
heres the timing to help you, just add in your muted strums as you wish:
(00:15) (00:17) (00:20) (00:21)
C# D# G# A#
Just play this same riff more gently with perhaps with a slight mute during the verses.
I don't have time to write the chorus now but its just all major barre chords if that helps.
Okay there! if you can't play it now there is absolutely nothing i can do other than give more
to charities for the mentally handicapped. I hope you liked it!
Shout outs to big Dispatch fans: Tim, Teemo, Kristen, Becca, not Mark because he skipped the
last concert to watch the bruins game (tsk tsk), Allegra, McNay, James, Joe, and of course my
dear gf Lindsay (former oboe player here people!) Ok sorry, im done now, peace.
