Relient K - The Best Thing guitar tab
Relient K-The Best Thing
Album-Five Score And Seven Years Ago
Tune down 1/2 step (Eb)
This song is already submitted, but they’re chords, so here’s the tab. Another thing: you could probably play this in standard tuning, but I’m tabbing it in Eb because most of the other songs from FSASYA are in Eb.
So if you want to play it in standard, just move the notes down 1 fret.
Key:
~=let ring
.=palm mute
()=volume swell
x=mute
