Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
Tabbed by Colsy
I couldn't find a good version of this tab without confusing myself
so i tabbed this out. I watched the live videos on youtube then worked it out
by ear. not an easy task! After i figured it out its a pretty fun song to play.
As you can see it is played with a 5 string, but i tabbed it on a standard 4 string.
he really only uses the 5th string for slides.
Hope you enjoy it.
nb: The breakdown is very hard to hear in the recording. What I have tabbed is based on
the live videos. The upper neck parts you will have to listen to the song to really get
the timing of them. Guitar Pro takes a bit of messing around to get it exactly right!!
