Sweetest Air (acoustic) - This Time Next Year ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mister Meh Email: Mensoirmeh@gmail.com This is, by far, my favorite song by This Time Next Year - It's amazing. "Flat" out (Sorry, bad pun. You'll get it later). This is my also my first tab, so if you have any corrections or additions, just email me and I will try to fix up the tab. I'm not going to put up the rhythym - Just use this to get the chords and riffs right. Guitar 1: Half Step Down - This one plays the chords and a few riffs in the songs Guitar 2: Half Step Down - This one plays some chords, but a majority of the time it's playing riffs. (The song sounds okay without this, so if you're learning it solo, learn guitar 1) Everything is tabbed in line with the tuning - the riffs, the chords, the chord names, ect. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************ INTRO Guitar 1 (When you're done playing each chord, palm mute it!)
