THE TRUMPETS BLARED - The Teeth
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Cole Freeman
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Guitar 1 is Brian Ashby, who plays variations on the rhythm chords and the lead melodies.
He does quite a few little articulations that I tried to incorporate without being too intrusive.
Guitar 2 is Aaron MoDavis, playing cowboy chords very fast. At this speed these changes can be difficult,
so take your time.
These guys also love using their thumbs, especially Aaron, for muting and fretting.
It's how a few of these chords are played so cleanly. I didn't notate most rhythms or strumming patterns
because there's nothing fancy going on that you can't easily figure out and this song is busy enough as it is.
