Tabbed by: Chriss Artist: Linkin Park Title: One Step Closer Album: Hybrid Theory Guitarist: Brad Delson Version: Album Version Drop Db 1/2 step tuning (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb) x=muted + harmonic / Slide I watched their performance at an MTV event (forgot the name)years ago. They played the song with the X-ecutioners.I watched it about 60 times to figure it out,so I am sure it´s almost 100% correct. I added another (easier) verse-riff at the end cause the right one is a bit complicated. I think Linkin Park is one of the Best Bands in the whole world and Brad Delson is amazing. the whole song is distorted Intro: Eb--------------- Bb--------------- Gb--------------- Db--------------- Do 4x Ab--5-7---------- Db-0-0-8-7-3/2--- Per-Verse: Eb---------------------- Bb-----8/10-----6------- Gb-----7/9------5------- Db-00—-7/9--8-7-5--Do 4x Ab-00—-5/7--8-7-3------- Db-00-------8-7--------- (watch the timing!!!)

"the whole song is distorted" - what did you expect from LP? :P
Finally, a One Step Closer tab that makes sense!
Yes! Exactly! :D
