Failure By Design by Brand New Song: Failure by Design Artist: Brand New Album: Your Favorite Weapon Tabbed by: Aaron Greene This is played with the guitar dropped down a half step! This is done by dropping the E string down until the 6th fret on E matches the A string. Then you tune your guitar to E string which is now an E flat. It would play the same in standard tuning, it would be in the wrong key.
