It's Nice to Know You Work Alone - Silversun Pickups
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ahrum

This is probably my favorite Silversun Pickups song, for its gritty
grunge feel to it. This is also a landmark for me and my guitaring,
for while this is a pretty simple song, I've actually completed my first
entire tab. I've only been playing guitar for 8 months, mind you.
To get a good sound w/o pedals, I cut the tone to 0 on my guitar, use
the rhythm pickups, and turn the treble and middle values on my amp to
about 3 o'clock (12 o'clock being normal)... it's a pretty sick sound,
and I enjoy playing that way.
UPDATE: I submitted this in Eb tuning, but in further listens of the song,
It's definitely in Drop D... my mistake
Feel free to e-mail me w/ comments.
Tuning: Drop D
