DARK DAY DAWNING - "If Only" Tablature

Gtr I (D A D G B E) - 'Untitled'



If Only by Dark Day Dawning is one of the best songs ever by one of the best bands out there. I hope to Tab out the rest of this CD and get it to you soon. This is Corey Placito saying that if you are even looking at this tab then congratulations you’re a fan of true hardcore music. If you love dark Day Dawning like I do then you should buy Atreyu and The Dillenger’s Escape Plan. This is a tough song to play so I included the times. Watch out for the weird noise in the break and the slow grunge part. I just do a weird octave slide up the fret and the first “cluster” of notes isn’t an octave chord it’s just some weird shape that makes the song sound better and more dissonant and makes the tab seem more correct or whatever. So enjoy, this is for you Alex. Oh yeah and Adrian Tardy is a cool guy (585 494 2534).
