Song: Sympathy
Artist: Billy Talent
Album: Billy Talent II
This song is not particularly difficult to play, though it is harder than a lot of Billy
other songs. At the end of the verse riff there are descending arpeggios that require
quick jumps up and down the fretboard. Also, in order to avoid notes that are squashed
I have made the bars shorter, though this means more bars and a longer tab. Also
of this, the interlude is quite long and could be confusing; just remember that the
is the same throughout. I have arranged the notes according to the timing of the song, but
the timing is a bit strange, it would be easier to simply get the rhythm by ear. Also,
print this tab, use the font Courier New, size 9, and each line of tab will be on
single page. Enjoy!
