The Lost Prophets - I Dont Know guitar tab
Lostprophets - I Dont Know
Tabber: Will Sharp
Tuning: Drop D (EBGDAD)
Email: chimaira_tool@hotmail.com
This is all my own work an the first tab out 4 this, dont bother
ripping it off. Solo is 100%, exact frets an everything. This was
tabbed out on my guitar in CGCFAD tuning with a capo on 2nd to put
it into standard drop D. This does mean that it removes my 21st an
22nd frets but i used the high E to replicate those missing frets
during the solo but tabbed it with 21st fret in use.
Feel free to email me with any comments.
Guitar 2 always has a light distortion on, Guitar 1 is varied.

SOLO:
Guitar 1: (slightly distorted - otherwise you won't hear the pinch harmonics!)
Ok, this has caused a lot of versions of this solo to be done, I can gladly say
that after a lot of faffing around with it i got it. Before i couldn't rly be
arsed as i couldnt do pinch harmonics but now i can...kinda ok at least.
Im sure about the positioning because of the pinch harmonics - if it is done lower
down the fret board on a lower fret the pitch is too low for the harmonic to sound
right.
For the ph below (*), play the ph first, then bend the string up, then bend it back.
To get it right (on my guitar), play the harmonic just above the bridge humbucker.
Also note when I tab a slide, i normally expect that the reader doesnt pick the string
during the slide. Exceptions are "/9", "6/11" and "/12" because the string lacks
energy/vibration to make a 'complete' sound.

A|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------------------|

Or Instead of the repeating riffs above, do this with just fingers
(as you might find the 16th on G will ring too much)
x4 x4 x8

Which either you use, end on these (brackets symbolise alternatives)
(they sound like they are bent ph, but bending them makes them too high
and a lower ph is too low)
