Numb Linkin Park
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Numb - Linkin Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Karleen Heong Email: heonjo@attglobal.net Tuning: Drop D down 1/2 a step SO: 6th(lowest)=Db 5th=Ab 4th=Db 3rd=Gb 2nd=Bb 1st(highest)=Eb Wierd tuning, but most effective. This song is specially tabbed for either a one man band, or two in a band. For a one man band, it's best to have an electric guitar with distortion pedal, if you want to play it acoustic, it's fine too. For 2 man band, one guitar with clean, the other with distortion. Note: Seeing that Linkin Park is a 6 person band, this version tabbed out is obviously a little different. I've put in a little bit of my style in it with different strumming rhythms, just to make it a little more interesting for live performances, not a full band with all instruments. If using a distortion pedal: Level=1/2 tone=2/3 bottom=2/3 distortion=full gain boost=1/2 | () harmonic | * Palm mute Here it is: Intro-w/distortion
