Falling Up - Bittersweet guitar tab
Artist: Falling Up
Album: Crashings
Song: Bittersweet
ok, i know there is already a tab for bittersweet, but i just saw falling up
in concert, and after the show, Joe taught me everything to this song exept
the bridge... so trust me, i don't want to sound cocky or stuck up, but this
is 100% right for sure :). oh and, listen to the song for rythm &
timing...
enjoy!!

then A-dub (who is sadly not in falling up any more) does a little
DJ stuff, then(acoustic):
G//// A//// (the the foward slashes are for how many beats you play the chord)
then(back to the electric, 3x):
e|--------------------------------
b|--------------------------------
g|--------------------------------
d|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
a|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
D|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
then the super awesome part... which you can just check out the other
bittersweet tab for... it's very very accurate.

THE END
have fun with it... it's really tough at first(especially the chorus),
but once your brain and/or hands get used to it, it shouldn't be too bad.
feel free to comment or correct the tab... though the only corrections would
be due to a typo or something like that, since, like i said earlier, Joe
showed me this song... so it's right, unless you want to think Joe's wrong ;).
In His Grip,
Ben (guitarbmee)
