Song

Taking Back Sunday

You're So Last Summer

tabbed by Dean

Most of the song has one guitar playing through one channel and the other one

playing through the other. So if you listen to one at a time it's a lot easier to

figure out some of the parts.

standard tuning

x = palm mute

* = harmonic

h = hammer on

p = pull off

During the chorus there's another guitar playing some stuff. I didn't tab it out

exactly but play something like this and it sounds good enough.
