Tuning: E A D G B E
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Architects and Engineers - Guster ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Album: Easy Wonderful Tabbed by: Rishesh Singh Email: sheesh@sheeshmusic.com Feel free to hit me up with questions/comments/corrections. There's a lot going on in the studio version of this and I've yet to hear a stripped-down version, so have some fun with the chord voicings and the song will certainly carry its' own. I opted for the voicings I did based on this live video I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxvqjkFbJdY and filling it out a bit for solo playing. Take a listen to the song and the strumming will be pretty self-evident.

To get the riff going throughout the bridge with one guitar just keep adding alternations between the 4th and 5th fret on B (as shown below) to the chords used in the transcribed version of the bridge above. e---------------| B-4--5--4--5--4-| G-4--4--4--4--4-| (etc...)
