------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back Breaker - Hit The Lights ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: GUIzaTAH Im not too sure about the order that the guitars are numbered in for this song, so im gonna use lead guitar and rhythm guitar instead This is also my first tab, so cut me some slack cuz im sure theres a few mistakes. The extra open notes on the intro and prechorus are to make the riff deeper. The only required ones are the open notes that come in pairs. I decided to try and make a tab for this song cuz i couldnt find one that helped me alot. If there are any questions or problems, leave a comment and i will try my best to answer. But I digress... enjoy Tuning: Drop D flat --> means go to next line / means slide up \ means slide down h means hammer-on p means pull-off ~ means vibrato + means harmonic x means Mute note INTRO: LEAD GUITAR 00:02- 00:27 e|-----------------------------------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------------------------------> G|-----------------------------------------------------------> D|---------------------------------------------------------7-> A|----5---7---5---7---7/9\7-5------5---7---5---7---7/9\7-5---> E|-00---0---0---0---0---------7--00---0---0---0---0----------> e|-----------------------------------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------------------------------> G|-----------------------------------------------------------> D|--------------------------------------------55-77----------> A|----5---7---5---7---7/9\7-5-------5---7---5-55-77----------> E|-00---0---0---0---0---------7--00---0---0---55-77----------> Play above section 2 full times and on the third time around play this: e|-----------------------------------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------------------------------> G|-----------------------------------------------------------> D|---------------------------------------------------------7-> A|-----5---7---5---7---7/9\7-------5---7---5---7---7/9\7-5---> E|--00---0---0---0---0-------7--00---0---0---0---0-----------> e|-----------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------> G|-----------------------------------> D|-----------------------------------> A|-----5---7---5---7---7/9\7-5---55~-> E|--00---0---0---0---0---------7-55~-> INTRO: RHYTHM GUITAR (guitar one plays intro one full time and then guitar 2 kicks in) 00:11-00:27 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------------------------------------> G|-----------------------------------------------------------------> D|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---55-55-5555---7h9p7-> A|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---55-55-5555---7h9p7-> E|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---55-55-5555---7h9p7-> e|--------------------------------------------------> B|--------------------------------------------------> G|--------------------------------------------------> D|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---77~-> A|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---77~-> E|-00-00-0000---00-00-0000---7-9---55-55-5555---77~-> Lead In From Intro To verse 1 00:27-00:29 (you can either play this part or the last two of the above section.

(Im not sure which guitar plays this part) We'll call it the LEAD GUITAR! So in other words play this part as a lead in to the verse one for the lead guitar. e|---------------------------------------------------> B|-------------------------------------8p7-----------> G|-----------------------------------------h9-7------> D|----------------------------------------------7\5--> A|---------------------------------------------------> E|---------------------------------------------------> VERSE ONE: LEAD GUITAR 00:37-00:46 This part comes in after the rhythm guitar plays the above part one full time.

This part was really difficult to hear, so this is the best I could come up with. The tempo is slower rather than quicker, and the rhythm is close to that of the vocals e|-----22-0-----0----> B|-33-------3--------> G|-22---------2------> D|-00----------------> A|-00----------------> E|-------------------> PRECHORUS 3 Im not sure if this part is technically a prechorus, or still part of the bridge section. I decided to call it the 3rd prechorus so that the bridge wasnt too long LEAD GUITAR 2:40-2:47 This part is kinda difficult to tab out and to have others understand, so i recommend taking what u can from what i have tabbed out, and listen to this part of the song and play along with it. and as a side note, the chord below is 12 and 14 not 1 and 4 or 1 and 2. As another side note, this section has no rhythm guitar part. e|-----------------------------------------------> B|-----------------------------------------------> G|----9-7----999-7----------9-7----999-7-141414--> D|-77-x-x-xx-xxx-x-777---xx-x-x-xx-xxx-x-xxx-----> A|-77-7-5-xx-777-5-777---xx-7-5-xx-777-5-121212--> E|-77-----xx-------777---xx-----xx---------------> e|----------------------------------------> B|----------------------------------------> G|----9-7-----999-7------9p7-9p7-9p7-9p7--> D|-xx-x-x-xxx-xxx-x-777--7~---------------> A|-xx-7-5-xxx-777-5-777-------------------> E|-xx-----xxx-------777-------------------> CHORUS 3 BOTH GUITARS 2:48-3:05 e|----------------------------> B|----------------------------> G|----------------------------> D|-0-x14--7-9--5-x14--7/9-7---> A|-0-x14--7-9--5-x14--7/9-7---> E|-0-x14--7-9--5-x14--7/9-7---> e|------------------------------------------------------> B|------------------------------------------------------> G|------------------------------------------------------> D|-0-x14--7-9--5-x16------------------------------------> A|-0-x14--7-9--5-x16------------------------------------> E|-0-x14--7-9--5-x16------------------------------------> POST CHORUS Im not sure if this part is actually the post chorus, or part of the outro, but i decided to divide the two up.
