3 Doors Down_-_Away From The Sun (v2.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: RaZoRb0iz
Email: razorb0iz@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Damn nice song from 3 Doors Down. Nowadays these songs really express how I feel. Anywayz,
this one I tabbed with came from starting points of version 2 by Chris Moore & Justin
McCormick (jmccormick79@hotmail.com) and version 3 by Will Fuller (isthatmycow@hotmail.com).
Both of them were right in some places, and wrong in some others. I slowed down the speed
of my song using Windows Media Player to 80%,and this is definitely closer than either
version 2 or 3.I'd definitely like to thank those 3 people for giving me the starting
point though. I've put the clean parts (Guitar 1) and distorted parts(Guitar 2) as 2
different guitars.Makes life abit easier for those of you without an effects
board.However,Guitar 3 also plays during some of the verses as you'll see below.So if
your short of electric guitarists,but have a plentiful supply of effects boards,use
guitar 2 to play guitar 3 parts.You'll have to modify the ending part of the verses where
it skips to the chorus,but you can still get it.
Version 2.0 - Made changes to the ending of the verse tabs for Guitar 1
13th April 2004
Version 1.8 - Made quite some changes to Guitar 3 and added a alternative
Playing option for the Fill played by Guitar 3 until I find out
The correct way. Or if anyone can help me? 13th April 2004
Version 1.6 - Noticed that it'd be hard to switch the second guitar from verse
To chorus in time so I added a third guitar. 12th April 2004
Version 1.5 - Noticed that there's a second guitar playing during some parts of
The verses so I added that in. 12th April 2004
Version 1.0 - First realease 30th March 2004
Check back frequently. I update as soon as people comment on my work through e-mail or
comments on this page.
NOTE:Just to those people who find this impossible to play and start hurling comments, I
PLAYED IT GUITAR BY GUITAR(play once with guitar 1,once with guitar 2,etc) THROUGH THE
WHOLE SONG AT 100% SPEED and I managed to get it right everytime (after practice of
fingering of course.) so practice before you preach.
Intro
Guitar 1 (clean) sounds better when with slightly distorted and tone on guitar turned
down to 5 with delay as well.
