I'm slowly working on a chord, or tab for the acoustic version of Death for my Birthday. That's my favorite on the CD, I'm also working on The acoustic Property which I'm actually almost done with. However, if someone wants to help out, or put in there thoughts on it, I'd love to hear it. I have to buy new strings, mine broke so someone should get started on it while I'm out.

My favorite track as well. It's already on my top played haha.

Awesome! I got it all done, sorry about how long that took, I went on a mini-vacation and just got back last night. I just am a little iffy on 2 parts, so I want to just fix them up before I post it and you all tare me to pieces haha. But it's actually pretty simple.

Ah dude. It's fine! Don't worry about it. Just so thrilled someone chose to tab this.

is there any way we can get that tab posted? I'm dying to see how to play this, I can't do it on my own!!!

I'm really interested in learning this song; where/ when are you planning to post it?

I just started tabbing this song, should have it posted fairly soon.

it appears we NEED this tab

OUTRO

Guitar 1:

The guitar here is just dead/muted notes to a rhythm which is easy enough to figure out, along with a power chord that twice uses an Eb bass note. Here are the chords and their order in between the muted notes:

Gb|--44-x-4-x-4-x-4-x-----
Db|--44-x-4-x-4-x-4-x-4~--

So that's what I came up with. The only thing I'm really unsure on are the verse chords. I'm in the ballpark with them, but I'm not convinced that they're entirely right. Everything else seems accurate to me, but any input is welcome!

Any suggestions on what I should work on next? I have bits and pieces of the Property demo, as well as a little bit of Less Cute. But I haven't really taken the time to sit down and figure them out properly yet.

THANK YOU!
