Comments about this tab
| bob k johnson - 2005-02-02 | | how on earth did you pull that song off |
| jamforchrist123 - 2005-02-14 | | It Sounds Perfect, Yet The Song Itself Seems Kinda Pointless. |
| grim reaper - 2005-03-17 | dude this site can be ok at times but most the songs this guy putts down stinks
|
| Alextx89 - 2005-03-28 | | shut up dude, this tab is flawless. axl out |
| vy O0==:: - 2005-06-30 | | i will admit that it is a bit hard to play this song at the speed it's played in MMHMM, but the song is hilarious. awsome tab man. |
| muddleheaded - 2005-07-11 | nice tab, though there are a couple spots that could sound better. i tuned down to Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (just like this tuning, but "drop D" a half step down") for all the mmhmm songs (and i think most will find that easier, plus at least death and taxes needs to be played that way)
for the clean part, it should go
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
7777------9999-8888---7777-------------------
7777-7777-9999-8888---7777-7777-9-2-4-(444444)
5555-7777-7777-6666---5555-7777-9-2-4-(444444)
-----7777------------------7777-9-2-4-(444444)
...... (pm for dist only)
and then following the next part
---------------------------
---------------------------
-7-7------7-7--------------
-7-7-7----7-7-7------------
-5-5-7----5-5-7------------
-----7--------7------------
but otherwise very close throughout. to play the whole thing in "drop Db"
raise the note up two frets only if it is on the low E string, such as
--- ---
--- ---
--- becomes ---
-7- -7-
-7- -7-
-5- -7- |

| Guitar&Vocals7 - 2005-08-16 | Relient K is an awsome band with some wacked out lyrics..........
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E-mail me @ Jumping4Chikn@aol.com if you have any awsome tabs. |
| guitarnerd153 - 2005-09-28 | | this song rocks! this tab is flawless which is super hard to do for Relient K songs. Nice job! |
| fenderbender123 - 2006-03-30 | | Why do RK songs always have to be so hard to play?!? |
| fender_7 - 2006-06-16 | that is the sign of a good musician
|
| 6strings21frets - 2008-08-12 | this tab is great, but there is a little tip I would like to point out:
instead of playing the 244xxx in the second part just before the singing, you may want to play up an octave on the 9th fret: x9.11.11xx
that was great... |
