Linkin Park - Linkin Park guitar tab
Here are tabs for most Linkin Park songs. I'm 14 and have been playing guitar for 5 months
and this is the first time I've tried to tab songs so bear with me if there are one or two
mistakes. I think it's pretty much 100% correct unless I or someone else finds a mistake
or typo.

[HYBRID THEORY]
METEORA
and more..
/= slide up
= slide down
x= mute note
*= harmonic
h= hammer on
Note: since Linkin Park play a lot of harmonics in their songs, I suggest that every time
a harmonic is played, you strum/pick that string close to the bridge/tailpiece to produce
a cleaner harmonic sound. Also when playing harmonics, plug the guitar into an effects
pedal so you can actually hear the harmonics well - especially on harmonics 9* and 3*
- like a compression sustain pedal or a distortion pedal (depending on which part of
the song and what it sounds like). Harmonics often sound crappy or too quiet without
effects and they definitely heighten the sound of the harmonics. And always have your
guitar perfectly in tune and place your finger in the exact, precise fret to play the
harmonic note. If you can do that, you can definitely achieve the right sound.
