The Dumbfound Game by Fair, from the album The Best-Worst Case Scenario
Tabbed by Daniel Montgomery
Guitar 1: Overdriven electric, rhythm pickup (Aaron Sprinkle)
Guitar 2: Overdriven electric, rhythm pickup (Erick Newbill)
Guitar 3: Clean electric with light chorus, treble pickup (Aaron Sprinkle)
Guitar 4: Overdriven electric, treble pickup (Erick Newbill)
Note: Guitar 4 plays a faint, buried-in-the mix lead figure during the second and fourth choruses, which I
have not tabbed or included for reasons of clarity. Also, it is super hard to dig out of the mix.
Lyrics are from https://lyrics.az/fair/the-best-worst-case-scenario/the-dumbfound-game.html
Listen to song for timing, et cetera, and please rate and comment.
