Light Up The Night Chords & Tabs
Light Up The Night, by The Protomen
Note: Song is relatively easy and has a few change-ups that you can pick up by listening
and playing along with the song.
Typically when I play, I palm mute the note that I rest on to follow the bass line chug.
For example, you would play the first two chords in the first tab, then palm mute the
A-string on the fourth fret in the steady beat of the bass, until the next chord.
As for the solo, I usually just improvise.
