Hoobastank
Pieces
I’ve seen a lot of tabs of this song that just don’t sound right. This song rules and I really wanted to be able to play it so I tabbed it myself. My tab may not be 100% accurate, but I think its pretty close. It sounds good played along with the song, anyway. I’m putting in a vague strumming pattern but to be more accurate, listen closely to the song.

This song is played on 1 guitar, even though it would be easier if you had 2.
Open E tuning (low to high: E-B-E-G#-B-E
Tab key:
/ = slide up
 = slide down
 = slide down the whole way to open
PM = palm mute
~ = let ring

Intro part 1: the last chord I’m really unsure of but it sounds ok.
