Song lyrics:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ataris_-_The Boys Оf Summer (v1.4)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: RaZoRb0|z
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard (For those whose voices are not that spectacular to reach that high
pitch in the chorus, tune it down by ј or Ѕ step.)
This tab will DEFINETELY look the same as some of the other tabs...but CHECK IT ОUТ
CAREFULLY before you decide that it IS the same.The correct number of electric
guitars in this song is 4!F-О-U-R!Either that,or Ataris recorded a back-up track
then played with it.Listen to the second solo VERY CAREFULLY(Headphones recommended
cuz that's how I found out there were 4 guitars and not 3) and you'll hear all 4 of 'em.
Don't follow the timings and number of times to play the notes exactly because they're
not accurate.Use your hearing to determine your own playing style.With distortion no
one can tell much of a difference anyway.
Version 1.4 - Found out that Hold Delay works fine as well in Guitar 4 solo
24th May 2004
Version 1.3 - corrected mistake in Guitar 4 solo.(Thnx to skasolo)
18th May 2004
Version 1.2 - corrected some notes in Guitar 4 solo. 12th April 2004
Version 1.0 - First Release 12th April 2004
High paced song.I love it a lot and I performed it in my school during teachers' day.
This is as accurate as I can get it.It may get more accurate if you guys can give me
some help by adding you comments.Come back frequently because I update as soon as I
get comments.

Guitar 4 (with Delay, starting point could be Time - 441,Feedback - 7.0,Speed - 0.10
Depth - 10.0,Mix - 10.0...Adjust your own timings from this starting point)FURTHER
NОТЕ:Found out that you can use Hold Delay too,
but haven't figured out the settings for that effect.
