Great Big White World Tab

this is my first tab so leave me alone if you think its demented, k? =P
 
tuning: can be standard (E-A-D-G-B-e) but i find it easier on Drop D
tuning (D-A-D-G-B-e), it sounds just as good, if not better. if you use the standard
tuning, make sure you play riff 5 properly
 
b - bend
h - hammer
/ - slide
 
Other Notes: if you are using an electric guitar,
this tune is best done using the Bridge Pickup switch and on overdrive
distortion

those are pretty much all you need to know, there is another riff near the end
but i dont know how it goes yet, so just go with this.
 
 
this is the order of riffs:
 
1 - Riff 1 x4
 
2 - Riff 2 x1
 
3 - Riff 3 x2
 
4 - Riff 4 x4
 
5 - Riff 5 x1
 
6 - Riff 1 x4
 
7 - Riff 4 x4
 
8 - Riff 5 x2
 
9 - Riff 3 x2
 
10- Riff 5 x4
 
NOTE: riff 5 changes slightly  on #8 and #10 so just use your ears and you'll
figure it out, its very easy.
