Artist: McFly Album: Room on the Third Floor Song: Not Alone Guitarists: Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher Transcribed By: Sophi Garrett (sophi@garrett.co.uk) Tuning: Standard =================================================== Many tabs of the Intro neglect the bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and also put the whole tab onto one or two strings. This version is clearer and more accurately transcribed, and is also easier to play, as it's over four strings in about the same area of the guitar neck, and that in turn reduces hand movement. The lead guitar (GUITAR 2) part of this song is played with a slight crunch distortion, and the rhythm (GUITAR 1) part is acoustic. ==INTRO========================================================= -GUITAR 2- E|-11-12h11----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------14-12---13b14-14p12-10-9-10---9h10p9---------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------11-9------9-11-11b13b11-9-------| D|----------------------------------------------------9h11-----------------13-11-| A E E|-11-12-13b14------15b16-16-16-16-16b15-12----------------| B|-------------12---------------------------16-14-12-------| G|---------------------------------------------------14-13-| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| -GUITAR 1- (played below Intro solo)(easier when finger-picked) E|-------0--------------0--------------0--------------0---------| B|----0-------0------0-------0------0-------0------0-----0----0-| G|---1-1-------1----1-1-------1----2-2------------2-2-----------| D|--2---2----2--2--2---2----------2---2----2-----2---2-------4--| A|-4--------------2---------2--2-0--------------0-------0---2---| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------0--------------0--------------0--------------0--| B|----0-------0------0-------0------0-------0------0-----| G|---1-1-------1----1-1-------1----2-2------------2-2----| D|--2---2----2--2--2---2----------2---2----2-----2---2---| A|-4--------------2---------2--2-0--------------0--------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| ==VERSE1========================================================= -GUITAR 1- (chords, work out the rhythm yourself) Chords:
