🎸 Chord Trivium - Built To Fall Acoustic

i was aimlessly wandering around on youtube and i came around this
performance from matt heafy that he did on a rooftop in paris and was very
impressed from what i saw and heard . after about a dozen or so times of
watching matt play this song i also realized that this was a fairly
simple song . if you’re unsure about what video i’m speaking of , the link is :

it maybe a little tough for beginners , due to all the little riffs and
timing , but it’s honestly not that hard after some persistent practicing .
if you have any problems with the hitting the bass notes to the chords ,
rhythm , or when to palm mute , just watch the video in the link i gave you
and it should help a lot . once you’ve made your final judgement of the tab ,
please rate and comment .

tab symbols :

v = vibrato
h = hammer – on
/ = slide
. = palm mute
( writing ) = these are just my own personal notes for the reader . i recommend
looking at them for specifics . hopefully they help .
