Tuning: Drop D

Ordinary is not an ordinary song...
I love the quick rapping in the verses, the parts with Phaser effect and the
heavy parts with distortion. I love it all.
The other tab is quite off and excludes the Lead Guitar, so I thought that I
would tab it. It's too sweet to not have a good tab of it. Enjoy!

h = Hammer on
p = Pull off
P.M. or ... = Palm Muting

This song must be a bit boring for the Lead Guitarist. He hardly does anything
in this song, it's not like Hand Grenade or something like that. Anyway, it
definitely has two guitars since you can hear the difference in sound at those
octaves and TFK always seem to use two guitars. Hope this tab can take your
guitar playing beyond the ordinary. lol TFK ROCKS!!!
God Bless,
Daniel

Comments about this tab

Dani_Boy - 2006-04-15

One little thing. I wrote one part of the chorus like this, with a pull off:

G|----------------|
D|------------0---|
A|--00008p75h70---|
D|--00008p75h70---|
P.M.....


Do it with a slide, I think it works a lot easier:

G|--------------|
D|----------0---|
A|00008\75h70---|
D|00008\75h70---|


Dani_Boy - 2006-04-15

The second one has palm muting too, I just forgot to write it out. :)


SHARK - 2006-04-17

I dont mean to give every one of youre tabs a 5!its just that a 4 wouldnt do it justice!


Dani_Boy - 2006-04-19

I think that Rawkfist got a 4 didn't it? So we're even. lol :) Anyway, even if you rate it a 5, please tell me if you find the slightest mistake. I'm gonna make an album tab of Phenomenon, and then I want to have cleared as many mistakes as I can.


SHARK - 2006-04-19

yea well I rated this tab before I rated rawkfist and I cant find anything wrong with this.


Dani_Boy - 2006-04-20

hehe, I'm just teasing you a bit. You may rate whatever you want. I won't complain. I'm actually happy when I find a mistake, because that means I can imårove the tab.


Dani_Boy - 2006-04-20

*improve lol


SHARK - 2006-04-20

does that mean u wont be happy when I say this is pretty much 100% correct?lol.


Dani_Boy - 2006-04-21

Hahaha, I'll be happy if I find a mistake, but I'm happIER if it is 100% correct. What I don't like is mistakes that go unnoticed.


akaukal - 2006-05-01
