Artist - Sum 41
Song - Over My Head (Better off Dead)
Album - Does This Look Infected
Tuning - Drop D
Tabbed - adam7hell
Key:
- - Nothing
. - Palm mute
~ - Let notes ring
“ - Harmonics
() - Bend string to fret (if there is no fret number directly before, strike as bend)
h - Hammer on (don’t play second note)
x - Mute strings
p - Pull off (don’t play second note)
/ - Slide up or down (don’t play second note)
Cool song, especially the main riff. Although the song is in Drop D you can just ignore it and simply play notes on the
bottom string two frets lower. Also for each section of the song (Intro, Verse ect) I’ve written the tab for Guitar 1
and then the tab for Guitar 2 so don’t get confused thinking bits of the song are in the wrong order, just check the times.
