"The Blue Channel" by Taking Back Sunday on Album "Tell All Your Friends"
Tabbed by Andrew Cheong aka PyreXyn
This tab is for two guitars, as shown by the joined staffs.
Special abbreviations are marked under the part (Guitar 1 or Guitar 2) that they apply to.
h = hammer-on (do not pick the note above it)
p = pull-off (do not pick the note above it)
. = palm-mute
Each character represents a sixteenth note. Therefore, this entire tab includes rhythm.
Two-digit numbered frets are replaced with letters to preserve the rhythm.
A = 10
B = 11
C = 12

Note___________________________________________________________
The tabs:
B|56-56-56-56-----|
G|--7--7--7--7----|
and
B|563563563563----|
G|----------------|
are identical by pitch, but they must be separated so that the "7" could be held
out, thereby producing the distortion effect.
_______________________________________________________________
I have used all sorts of music editing programs to single out channels and
frequencies in order to tab this. You might not even hear some parts I write in
this tab. Although I will never claim that I am 100% right, I am confident that
my hours of work have produced an accurate result.
