She Couldn't - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean) Guitar 2 - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Clean w/delay and reverb) *Note* All guitars on this track are PRS CE 24's. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. This song helped me gain a new respect for Brad Delson as a guitar player when it first surfaced, as it was really the first time I'd ever been aware of him doing any fingerpicking (this song first leaked in 2009, so it was pre-A Thousand Suns, and I hadn't noticed some earlier instances of fingerpicking like the bridge of Part of Me or the live "Be Yourself"/Pictureboard interlude yet). There's only one interval in the main part played by Guitar 1 that actually requires picking two notes at once, but the whole feel of the part just doesn't come across right if you try using a pick for it. It's a pretty hand-twisting part, too! The downward slide from the 14th fret at the end of each repeat of the main riff is just a result of a quick position shift, it's not an "intentional" slide but it's very audible on the recording so I stuck it in the tab. The second guitar comes in during the chorus and outro and plays some natural harmonics.
