Superior Tim Christensen
___________________
/ Tim Christensen / Remember to check out my Guitar Pro tab of the whole
/ Superior / thing - it's definitely easier to learn the song from
/ Superior / that. It includes all the instruments, except for the
/__________________/ drums, and also includes many cool details that didn't fit
into this simple text tab!
Time: Shuffled 4/4
Tempo: 65 bpm
Key: C major
In this song there are 3 guitar: The acoustic one and two electrics,
one rhythm guitar and one solo guitar.
I've notated the guitars seperately to not mess up the tab more than necessary

[1] [a] [2] [a] [3] [a] [4] [a] [1] [a] [2] [a] [3] [a] [4] [a]
Notice that the chord is fully strum on all the off-beats,
"1 and", "2 and", "3 and", "4 and". That gives the song its
rhythmic feel, and that's really important for the song.
Verse:

(The notes on the D-string follow the vocal,
which is very typical for Tim's rhythm playing.)

********************************************************************************
Note that the acoustic guitar has a bit of a problem with the key.
It has capo on the 5th fret, so when it plays an Am, it's actually a Dm,
the Em/G is actually an Am/C and so on. That is one of the troubles when
playing with capo, but that's life.
The electric guitars don't play with capo, so their chords are the actual
chords!
