joey eat world
i think both grunger and majorpain are correct and should be combined however you need to take into play that there is delay on the guitar that produces that sound that you hear that might not be a note but for those without delay: E--------------------------- B--------------------------- G------------5-------------- D----7-5h7h5----7--- 5h7-5p0- x3 A--------------------------- D--0------------------------
