American Paradox


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMERICAN PARADOX - Strung Out ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By:John McCorkindale (johnm@umail.ucsb.edu) Copied by SOT! Note: Drop to full D tuning m= Mute x= Dead strings, just hold your hand lightly over them and play em h= Hammer on (when written on the line NATURAL harmonic when written above the line) ~= tremolo *= Pinch or ARTIFICIAL harmonic (pick and brush string with side of thumb in the right place) (*)= half a pinch harmonic..scrape your thumb over the string, but allow partially the harmonic and partially the fretted note to sound ... or ..= Sustain += you'll see this only for natural harmonics, it just means that instead of lightly touching over noted fret, touch a bit further up to sound the harmonic >= Slide down, or up (if there's a higher fret indicated after the >) <= Slide up Intro (guitars alternate) m mm m mm m mm
