Tuning: Dropped Tuning This is from their first album Static Prevails, lyrics were not sung by Jim Adkins official lead singer now but by second guitarist Tom Linton. Anyways it?s Dropped Tuning just like most Jimmy Eat World songs, I?ve tried arranging it for 2 guitars. I have included a structure to help if you get stuck with the variations and all. Hope it helps.
