This is the tab for Mayday Parade and Vic Fuentes' cover of Somebody That I Used To Know (originally performed by Gotye feat. Kimbra) I play the best bits of both guitars on my les paul on Drop D and it sounds great, probably one of the best covers I've ever heard! There are also little distortion bits in the verses which I haven't included, they're not really that playable so I didn't bother. dash-rendar: 'The way the lead guitar part is played involved an open E pedal tone, so they tuned down a half step. BUT this tab still works for people too lazy to tune down' ________________ Tuning: Guitar 1 - Drop D (You could play guitar one standard in honesty) Guitar 2 - Standard or Drop D, doesn't matter- you don't play the bottom string. * - Palm mute ~ - let note ring x - mute note h - hammer on p - pull of b - bend br - bend release H - pinch harmonic
