Here's how to play Speed of Sound (intro) on the Guitar!

Featured Replies

Only use the last 3 strings.

 

-0---0-------0------0-------- (keep the E string on 0 the whole time)

-3----3-------3------3------- (keep this string on 3 the whole time)

-3-3---2-2----2-2----0-0------------- (tune this string down one so the 0 is F#)

 

Remember to de-tune the first string to F#. Enjoy.

 

 

And sorry if I explained it horribly, I'm no good at tabbing. You use the last 3 strings (the treble strings). Keep the last string (no. 6) on 0 the whole time, keep the 5th string on 3 the whole time, and do as it shows on the 4th string.

hey thanks for your version.

The F# sounds so low and sloppy if you play it on the third string though.

not if u set your guitar up right. also if u changed the tuning then youd have to play all the other parts in a more difficult way.

 

 

What do you mean? You would have to move your pinky from the 3rd fret on the 4th string to the 4th fret on the 3rd string, and that's a hassle. With mine all you have to do is release some fingers and put them back on when you re-do the intro.

no i mean the other parts of the song like the pre chorus and the high lead in the chorus. also that tuning would bugger up the d bar chord. not worth the hassle :)
