The Westerner Chords & Tabs
______________________________________________________________________________
-Song: The Westerner
-Album: The Drug In Me Is You
-Artist: Falling in Reverse
-Difficulty: 6/10
This is the second tab I have done, I think this is one of the best songs on the
album and no-one had tabbed it out, so I gave it a shot, it sounds 100% but I’m
not sure about the solo. I tried to tab the start of the solo and it doesn’t sound
right, I will try and tab the solo at a later date, sorry. Any suggestions,
corrections or (hopefully not) complaints, you can email me at:
This_addy_sucks@hotmail.co.uk
Or just leave a comment :)
UPDATE: 10/09/12, finished the solo, enjoy!
UPDATE: 25/10/12, Corrected the rhythm behind the solo, and fixed the rhythm for
the final chorus. Oh and a chord for the rhythm post chorus was wrong, it should
be 7/7/5, not 7/7/7.

---Solo---------------------------------------------------------
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
N.B. I noticed that the solo is split up into 4 sections, or 'licks' as i like to call
them. I've separated them into the 4 licks so that it is easier to read and it doesn't
seem like an ongoing solo which is difficult to find where your place is. I don't think
this is 100% but it's pretty close and it sounds good if played up to speed.
