5 Seconds of Summer - English love affair

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH LOVE AFFAIR - 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-mail: a7xlucas@live.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBE) I was hesitant to tab it because this song isn't very guitar driven but the riffs are cool and I figure some people want to learn it. So here it is! Hopefully it doesn't look too complicated, although I have to say it is easily one of their hardest songs to play! Lots of string skipping and awkward slides definitely gave me a challenge, but it made it that much more fun too. There's some tough harmonies going on such as the Preverse 2/Verse 2 part that I combined for one guitar, a challenge for experienced players. But you can always just play one note instead of two if you can't get the hang of it quite yet. One last thing, remember that these riffs have many pauses in them, so the 2-3 spaces between notes generally mean stop playing the note and briefly pause. Anyway enjoy! If you are confused on any of the parts or want to hear it to see what they sound like check out my guitar cover for it here!: http://youtu.be/iaHCetgR4uI / or \ - slide to and from a note * - palm mute p - pull-off ~ - hold note =3= = triplet Intro/verse part 1, 3x (only the bass plays this most of the time after the 1st time though): e|--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------| On the 3rd time, stop G|-----5-----------8-----8---8/10------------%------------------| at the % symbol D|------------------------------------6-----------3-----3---3p1-| A|-3---3---3-5-6---6---6-----6/8--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------4---4---4-3-1---1---1---------| Prechorus: Guitar 1 e|-------------------------------|---------------------------1.-|----------2.-| Play "1.", then play B|-------------------------------|------------------------------|-------------| the previous bar.
