American Cliche' by Filter hey guys this is my second song that I've tabed And i just knew this had to be it due to lack of correct or near correct tabs for this song. now im not sure if this is dead on it sounds close enough to me. I didnt even bother trying to get down the intro because what i can hear it requires lots of effects and I only have a pedal board, hardly for an fx loop....from the sounds of it chorus, flanger, digital delay, and some other I cant put my finger on are set up in a way i cant figure out with lots of gain (I mean just to get those kinds of harmonix) in an fx loop If anyone can figure it out I'd love to know. tuned drop d ( ) are litely touched for harmonix x is open *Should be done by second guitar (a second guitar will make it sound great but can be by one) *intro (this is what it sounds like to me I could be wrong lol) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
