Hook Guitar Tablature
hook.txt

Note: I did not write this song, this is my interpretation of it.

Here's what it sounds like to me, and it kinda reminds me of what I think I remember
reading in the official chord book. There are actually three guitars on the track if
you listen carefully. This is for the main guitar, which is the one you'll probably
notice most. There's also an acoustic in the right speaker which plays pretty much
the same thing, and a lead in the left picking a bunch of single notes to accompany
the rhythm.

h = hammer on
/ = slide up
* = stop string

Intro/verse (clean electric, single coil, bridge pickup)

Let notes ring out until *

Chorus 

The chorus is pretty chaotic. But I'm pretty sure the acoustic is just strumming the
verse chords and the electric is playing something like this:
E  :--------------------|--------------------|------------------|------------------|
B  :---------5----------|---------9----------|-------10---------|-------9----------|
G  :----------------6---|----------------9---|--------------9---|-------------10---|
D  :------7-------------|------9-------------|----11------------|----11------------|

E  :5-------------------|--------------------|------------------|9-----------------|

E  :--------------------|--------------------|------------------|------------------|
B  :--------10----------|--------14----------|--------10--------|-------12---------|
G  :---------------11---|---------------14---|-------------11---|-------------13---|
D  :-----12-------------|-----14-------------|-----12-----------|----14------------|
A  :--------------------|12------------------|------------------|------------------|
E  :10------------------|--------------------|10----------------|12----------------|


Bridge

Only the bass plays for the first part of the bridge. In the later part the guitar plays
what sounds like triplets on the verse chords.
