Let It Go - Blue October
Great song off Foiled. The guitar is very subtle in the song but very good. Thought I
try to put up exactly what it's doing since the only decent tab on here right now is
Props to XAVIERSMITH for that chord tab (especially tabbing out the violin solo), which
this a whole lot easier to figure out.
I tried to give you as many indicators as possible as to the timing, but you really need
listen to it to get it down. Isolating the guitar as much as possible by shutting off
left speaker helps a lot.
Enjoy!

As far as the solos go, what I like to do is play the first half of the Harmonica solo,
into strumming the final chorus, and then play the last half of the violin solo once
chorus is over. That is how I'll tab it out, just know that both solos are actually
as long and played back to back behind the final chorus.
