==========================================================
This is a guitar tab for the acoustic version of "Too Close To Hate"
by Sevendust. This transcription will not accurately apply to the
electric version, so please don't tell me I have it wrong based on that.
I happen to like the acoustic version better anyway, it's more musical
and shows off the true talent of Sevendust. I have played it solo acoustic
and it is very difficult to pull off, especially with the singing, so I
recommend another person. I have provided all of the pieces, they should
be easy to assemble. This is my first tab, feel free to provide any
constructive feedback.
==========================================================
TUNING:
E -> B (down 2.5 steps/5 notes)
B -> A (down 1 steps/2 notes)
G -> E (down 1.5 steps/3 notes)
D -> B (down 1.5 steps/3 notes)
A -> F# (down 1.5 steps/ 3 notes)
E -> B (down 2.5 steps/5 notes)
Note: if you don't like keeping your guitar detuned all the way you can
play it in a higher key using DADGCD from top to bottom and save re-
tuning a few notes. I generally find this to be easier unless you are a
Sevendust cover band or just keep your guitar low all the time.
