This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

GOOD TO KNOW THAT IF I EVER NEED ATTENTION ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DIE - Brand New

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Taylor Harris

Email: jtaylorharris@yahoo.com

Tuning: E-Flat (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

/ slide up

\ slide down

h hammer-on

p pull-off

~ vibrato

This song is rather dense with all the distortion. I've picked through it

all so listen extra close before you rate. If you do not find it accurate,

please shoot me an email because I am open to all kinds of suggestions.

**Note: I originally thought the verse was like this:

However, after seeing it live I saw Jesse plays it as is in the tab. They are

the same notes picked in the same order. It just depends on what you prefer.

I thought I would throw that in there because I find the above method sounds

better due to the open strings.

CHORUS

Note: The second time around there is an added guitar part. It's difficult

to hear as the song is quite dense. If you mess around with the

EQ and take down most of the bass channels you can hear it better.

BRIDGE PART 2

So for the next part Guitar 1 is pretty much effect-pedaled into oblivion.

Jesse however is strumming this, which is basically the main riff for the

majority of the song. Just layer on plenty of phase shift, and distortion.
