The Ataris_-_The Boys Of Summer (v1.7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: RaZoRb0|z
Email: razorb0iz@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (For those whose voices are not that spectacular to reach that
high pitch in the chorus, tune it down by ¼ or ½ step.)
This tab will DEFINETELY look the same as some of the other tabs...but CHECK IT
OUT CAREFULLY before you decide that it IS the same.The correct number of electric
guitars in this song is 4!F-O-U-R!Either that,or Ataris recorded a back-up track
then played with it.Listen to the second solo VERY CAREFULLY(Headphones recommended
cuz that's how I found out there were 4 guitars and not 3) and you'll hear all 4 of
'em. Don't follow the timings and number of times to play the notes exactly because
they're not accurate.Use your hearing to determine your own playing style.With
distortion no one can tell much of a difference anyway. Added new legend. Check it
out at the bottom first.
Version 1.7 - Modified the solo abit after listening to it again.10th September
2004
Version 1.6 - Yes...Thnx again to matt van leeuwen.After listening very closely
again using earphones,I've heard what he's corrected me.So it's
down properly now. 11th August 2004
Version 1.5 - Thnx to matt van leeuwen for correcting the last line of the song
for guitar 4. I personally still haven't re-listened to that part
...school's just started... anybody else care to comment?
25th July 2004
Version 1.4 - Found out that Hold Delay can be used in Guitar 4 solo as well.
24th May 2004
Version 1.3 - corrected mistake in Guitar 4 solo.(Thnx to skasolo)
18th May 2004
Version 1.2 - corrected some notes in Guitar 4 solo. 12th April 2004
Version 1.0 - First Release 12th April 2004
High paced song.I love it a lot and I performed it in my school during teachers' day.
This is as accurate as I can get it.It may get more accurate if you guys can give me
some help by adding your comments.Come back frequently because I update as soon as I
get comments.
