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.
