Hands Held High - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - D A D G B E (Clean w/delay and reverb) *Note* The guitar on this track is a PRS Custom 24. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. I think this song wins the award for simplest guitar part ever in a Linkin Park song. There's only one guitar, and the entire song consists of 3 notes. The most notable thing about this song is that Phoenix actually plays guitar on it live. Since Mike handles the majority of the vocals on the live version, Brad plays keyboards, so they have Phoenix play guitar, and as is the case with Leave Out All the Rest, the bassline is covered by the left hand of the keyboard part. Phoenix plays this tuned down half a step live (he usually uses one of Mike or Brad's backup PRS guitars on both this song and Leave Out All the Rest), but I didn't see any real reason to tab it that way, since Mike said before the album came out that most of the guitars weren't tuned down like they used to be, so it was probably recorded this way. Again, if you want to play it accurately to the live version, tune down half a step and move everything up one fret. Also, while this type of guitar part seems more indicative of something a Strat would be used on, this song originated from one of Brad's home demos, and he wasn't using Strats yet at that point (he began using them once they were brought into the Laurel Canyon studio during the album sessions). The fact that Phoenix always used a PRS on the live version is also a pretty good indication that a Strat wasn't used on this song.
