Reading My Eyes - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/lo-fi) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean, neck pickup) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 4 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 5 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/lo-fi and tape flange) *Note* All guitars on this track are Fender Stratocasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. If you already learned the live version of this song that Linkin Park played in 2006/2008, this will look pretty familiar. Guitar 1 plays the lo-fi parts in the verse and bridge, Guitar 2 plays the clean parts in the verse, Guitar 3 covers most of the main distorted stuff, Guitar 4 is an additional overdub for the single-note lines in the bridge, and Guitar 5 plays the breakdown (the flange effect here is done with the old school manual tape flanging technique - look it up, it's very cool!). In terms of differences, the guitar stops one repeat sooner in the first verse than it does on the live version. The chorus isn't palm muted on this version, which results in a very sloppy, indistinct sound where some of the notes are hard to hear over the low Db string ringing out. The positioning of the single notes in the bridge is different, and there's the addition of the chords underneath that part starting when the vocals come in. For the second half of the bridge, all of the E5 chords are sus2 variations, rather than starting as regular E5's before changing, and the half-step Db5-to-D5 part is played with a slightly different pattern. The very end of the song is also slightly different when it comes to how the harmonic/downward slide is executed.
