JOE WILES: Now, we're counting down our top 80 most downloaded guitar tabs on the Internet.
And coming in at number 32 is "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy. Let's take a
look at the guitar. The first thing we're going to do, drop down to D on your low E
string. You should match your D string up here--so it should be the same, okay? The
song kicks off just wide open. Then take your index finger and pad across all three of the
lowest strings. Slide it up to the 9th fret and then back to the 5th fret. Just open-5-9-5,
okay? Slowly, it sounds like this. Twice in a row.
Now, notice, between each set of riffs, I'm giving it a four count mute on the strings,
which is basically I take my left hand here, lay it across the strings like so and hit
the low three strings five times or four times--okay? Now, that's a look at the rhythm of this song.
Now, there's a lead part I want you to learn as well. So grab a friend that could play
the lead part or vice versa, maybe you want to play the lead part, and join us for segment
two for Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Going Down." I'll see you there.
