HEADSTRONG-Trapt

Peter Charell-Bass
David Stege-Drums
NOTE: IT IS PLAYED ON A 7-STRING GUITAR! If you have a bias opinion
on that statement, please feel free to refer to the music video on Youtube.
This is my own interpretation of the song, which, not to gloat, sounds pretty damn accurate.
I have also taken the courtesy of providing the note lengths:
W-Whole note
H-Half note
E-Eighth note
S-Sixteenth note
T-Thirty-second note
Note with a dote is represented a another half of its value
(e.g.) E.=Dotted Eight note or an Eighth note tied to a sixteenth note.
A Note above no fret number represents a rest.
7-string guitar tuning:(B E A D G B E)
