"Hellbound" by The Living End
Tabbed by Raph Brown ([email protected])
I've tried to make this as complete and accurate as possible, and
have spent a considerable amount of time on this. The solo is
near-complete (towards the end i kinda lost patience though - why
does he have to play for so damn long anyway?), but the rest is just
about note perfect. I think i deserve a round of applause for this.
^=sharp, undefined bend
b=bend to fret pitch in brackets,eg 4(5)-bend at fourth fret till it sounds like the fifth
u=unbend
~=hold the note, w/vibrato
\= slide down the fretboard
/= slide up

aw hell, you figure out the rest of this. i'm bored.
Finish with verse riffs, then chorus riffs, then a slowed down Verse Riff 1,
followed by an upstroked open Em chord, and then just the open E(low)
string.
