AllForHim2008 - 2006-05-05

tl_guitarnut - 2006-06-26
I think the lead plays something different in the verse
I Am Not - 2006-07-13
Hey.....Can someone tab the ENTIRE Acoustic version of "Im Not Alright".....This acoustic version sounds really good. The only place I found this version is on iTunes. You can download this song for .99 cents. I would be much aprreciated if someone can tab the acoustic version. Thanks brothas.

I Am Not
GeorgiagurlB15 - 2006-09-01
Hey! Great tab! But I was wondering if you could put the acoustic version of this on here?? Would be much appriciated! God bless!
*BeTh*
musikfreak165 - 2006-09-18
okay, I haven't tried this but I think it'll be right, rather than this for the intro:

Eb|--8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8/-8bbb--|
Gb|-12/12/12/10/10/10/12/12/12/12/12bbb--|

try this:

Eb|--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--|
Bb|-12-12-12-10-10-10-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13--|

Sweet man.
CrossbearerJDC9 - Pick Up Your Cross
rednaxela - 2006-10-16
Hey how do u put it into that tuning?
musikfreak165 - 2006-10-19
*clears throat* here we go into a little tuning lesson:

C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#

take the E string and start turning the tuner for it to the right (or, if you don't have your strings on right, whichever way makes it lower). Go to D#, then D, then C#.

on the rest of the strings do the same thing but only go one note lower.

yay! you've successfully tuned your guitar to C#!!!

I hope that's what you meant by "how do you tune that far?"
rednaxela - 2006-10-27
Thanks
drumin2dabeat - 2006-11-02
this tab may be correct, but the exact tab that is played can be found at
