Bow: (3*) Use a cello or violin bow (whichever one works) to let the guitar
sound ring out. Rub bow against selected strings to get your sound. It's
recommended to use an acoustic electric guitar, so that you can switch from the
overdrive electric sound to the acoustic sound.
This piece wasn't really that hard to tab. The basic chords that you use is
just the Em chord, barred in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th frets. Problem is, you're
going really fast, and it's tough to maneuver your hand around. Nonetheless, these
tabs should give you what you need for Therapy. Thanks to Guitaraddict14 for
recommending it.
If you have any concerns for the piece, (i.e. some notes are wrong, chords are
wrong) please tell me, or email me at jp_iliketomoveit@yahoo.com .
Good luck learning this song. (I'm also going to tab the song 'Candlelight', if
any of you want the tabs for it.)
