When Girls Telephone Boys 
Tabbed By: Mateo 
  
I have tabbed this song for a six string tuned to:  
  
  
Drop>            A# F A# D# G C 
Tun. Pattern.   7   5  5   4   5 
I don't mean to gloat, but this tab is perfect for this tuning. Just trust me.   
This rythym in the chorus is great for intermediate learning. It includes  
successive palm mutes and dotted half notes (actual HALF (1/2) of a note).   
Listen closely, there are 'discrepances' due to the tuning.  The tuning sTeF  
uses calls for many open strings to be strummed during the verse and bridge  
(its a difference of negative 3 frets on the bottom 2 strings) so get someone  
to overdub or something.  In the meantime, just use the 1st and 2nd strings open. 
Thats all you'll need out of those two.  This song is simple and so heavy.  
I hope you enjoy. 
  
Now, your equipment might not be capable of doing this (if the neck is bent  
and ***ed up, it won't work) 
The distortion is massive. Stefs using his Boss Hyper Fuzz. 
  
I would also like to thank Nuno for running this site.  Keep up the good work. 
  
You can also play battle-axe (easy) in this tuning.  
  
/ = Slide 
* = play the same fret to this point > 
. = palm motha***a, like you never have before!
