Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe)
This is a complete tab for 5SOS's song "18". There are many guitar parts the other versions so far
have left out including the chorus and bridge lead guitar parts. Also, to differentiate this tab from
the others as well, this is in DROP D tuning, as one of the last notes in the last note has an open D
power chord. I've seen that they play this song in standard tuning live, and they play that last note
x577xxx instead of 00023x. Hope this is easier to follow as well! Enjoy
Also, if you want to try to learn the solo that Michael plays when they do this song live, it's at
the bottom of this tab! (See this video http://youtu.be/SwmAegUb3kw?t=3m41s )
Guitar 1 - Luke Hemmings
Guitar 2 - Michael Clifford
(#) - natural harmonic (lay finger on the fret and pick note to make a sound, it takes practice)
/ or \ - slide to and from a note
* - palm mute
===3=== - triplet

t - tapping

natural harmonics^
Note for harmonics above: The ".8" next to the number of the fret is how far up the fret you lay your
finger. Think of it has having your finger about 80% to the LEFT of the fret.
