Man, I have been tabbing for years and years. I guess at this point you can call me an inveterate tabber. Official tab books are hardly ever exactly right. Only when the artists themselves show you how to play the song is when it is right. The best, most thrilling way to play a song is exactly right because when artists right their guitart parts they emphasize a lot of thing that are left out in tab books like tone and so on and so forth. I haven't tabbed any songs lately but I'm shure I could tab a song almost perfectly better than any tab book of the song. It just makes me sick everytime someone says, "I have the OFFICIAL tab book and it isn't played like that".

Hey Mr. iworkforthesystem, your wrong ok, saverain is right, dont eversay "i have the official tab book", it sounds kinda stup!d. Come on I'm 13 and I know that sounds dumb. By the way Danny Sosa you did a good job on it.

On the intro it sounds best to play clean. You don't need any effect for this song but distortion.
sk8er66sixsk8er66sixUnknown Date
dont put drop ur notes to c g c f a d just drop the top string to d
systempetesystempeteUnknown Date
Dose any one else but me notice a faint distortion part that starts near the end of each verse. Im not good at doing tabs yet so I have no idea what cords those are just by hearing them. plese post them
associationhasgoneassociationhasgoneUnknown Date
This tab is 100 percent correct, and even though the chorus is tabbed in the right key, there is a better way to play it, the chorus will sound brighter/clearer/better if you play it like this

and some of the peeps posting corrections on this tab have been saying you need to play the intros and verses in a higher key, the right way to play it is the way it is tabbed, it sounds like it should be higher, but thats because there are other instruments playing in that higher key, Daron plays the "bass" (if you will) of the intro and verses with his guitar, it is also the way he plays it live


good job danny
