Poison the Well - Nerdy

-Poison the Well --Opposite of December ---Nerdy This is my rendition of the song. Everything sounds correct but I can’t guarantee that it is exactly how PTW plays it. This song is in Drop D tuning. Just look at the tad for the exact nots for each string. PM= Palm mute the notes that the letters are under and the notes with the dots under them OK, here we go. Its not that hard, it just takes some practice. ********** * Intro * ********** Guitar 1 Harmonics D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- F|-5---5---5---5---4---5---4---4---5---5---5---5---4---5---4---4------- C|---5---5---5---5---5---5---4---4---5---5---5---5---5---5---4---4----- G|--------------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------4------------- F|-5---5---5---5---4---5---4---4---5---5---5---5---4---4---4---4------- C|---5---5---5---5---5---5---4---4---5---5---5---5---5-------4---4----- G|--------------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- Guitar 2 D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- F|-------------------------------------44444--444--44444--------------- C|-55555--555--55555--555--555---------44444--444--44444--444-444------ G|-55555--555--55555--555--555---------22222--222--22222--444-444------ D|-33333--333--33333--333--333----------------------------222-222------ PM.
