THE HIVES – HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO
TABBER: GARETH HUGHES
I’m quite proud of this tab, I worked hard on it and I even got a bit of the bass line in there, as well as both guitars. OK, gear!
Guitar 1 (this is all based on the live performance not the video) is a modified telecaster that only has one, bridge single coil pickup.
Guitar 2 is apparently an SG of some sort with two open humbucker pickups. Dunno what setting it’s on.
Any corrections on this tab, my email is [email protected]

There’s a tiny fill part here where Guitar 1 plays the opening chord for a few bars on his own with some bizarre guitar effect that makes it sound like a robotic duck quacking. Don’t ask me what the heck it is, but you can just play it normally or something.
