LOVE YOU BETTER - The Maccabees
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Georgeyy
Email: george_cochrane@hotmail.com
Tuning: EADGBe (Standard Tuning)
-(Orlando) Is the singer who only plays a few little bits
-(Felix) Is the rhythm guitarist for this song at least
-(Hugo) Is the lead guitarist for this song
If you only have two guitarists it should be too hard to get one guitarist or the other to fill in
Orlando's parts. They aren't too hard.
Intro
(Orlando) This is quite gently strummed and palm muted but really fast
