BLINDFOLDS ASIDE
Protest The Hero
KEZIA (2005)
Tabbed by Jordo:
This tab look a long time to do, but I think its pretty much correct. Where two guitars are used,
I've put the parts together, makes it easier for me. Alot of the parts in this song are played by both
guitarists. Any comments or criticms are welcomed and encouraged. Dont forget to downtune! Enjoy
Tune down to C#G#C#F#A#D#
(drop D, then half step down)

h hammer on
p pull off
T tap
PM palm mute

The Right guitar does a solo in F# major... I tabbed a bit of it, but it's
all fairly repetitive.
