Artist: Nickelback
Song: Someday
Album: The Long Road (2003)
Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)
Tabber: undecided_gtr
I'm gonna catch a lot of hell for this tab cuz they'll say, "It's not in that tuning." I'm just gonna go as far as saying that I read Guitar World too. Although the actual tuning is Drop C (low to high: C G C F A D), there is a fairly accurate way to play in Drop D, which is what this tab is all about. This transcription is not unlike the one in Guitar World, but it's moved back two frets because it's in Drop D. If you don't like the tab, oh well. That's your problem.

After you play your last note just let them fade out on their own without causing feedback.
