'The Rest Of My Life' by Sloan - Guitar Tutorial
Song lyrics:
Song: The Rest of My Life
Album: Action Pact [2003]
Words and Music by: Sloan
Re-written by: Joey Lavoie [[email protected]]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Played in standard tuning [low to high: E A D G B E].
*Note: Many parts won't sound right if you don't use PERFECT timing.
**Note: I only put each chord once, if you listen they are played more than
that. Listen and you'll pick up on where to play them.
***Note: It would've took hours more to type out each part for Patrick, Jay,
and the Ghost player [Patrick or Jay overlapping in the studio], so I've
made this tab only arranged for one guitar.
****Note: Many times in the background you'll hear the Ghost player play the root
notes of each chord using heavy distortion, so keep your ears open for
that.
Chords Used: E, B, A, F#m, G#, C#m
