Title: The Fake Sound Of Progress

Artist: Lost Prophets

Album: The Fake Sound of Progress

Instrument: 6 String Guitar

Tabbed by: Andy M (spynalkordam@hotmail.com)

Tuning: Drop C ( C G C F A D)

This version is similar to the one done by Tommi except I fixed the harmonix at the beginning

and the low c string needed to be used on the intro instead of the high one.

I also used a different approach to the chorus.

Key:

< >= Natural Harmonix

h=hammer on

p=pull off

/\=slides

P.M.=Palm mute the notes above

()=echoed note(dont actually play it)

x=percussive strum

Guitar 2-Some improvisation would sound cool on this part if you play it live-but the

boring way it is played on the cd is:

Guitar 1: Play the prechorus and half way thru Guitar 2 joins with these

chords(listen to the cd to get the rhythm right):

This next part of the bridge is the only part that

im a little not sure about-Tommi uses a minor chord in his

(the one thats really annoying to do in dropped tuning) and I

couldnt figure out how it could fit in cause it doesnt sound even

in the right key-so i tried doing this and it sounds pretty close:
