Guitar Loop Cover
Arranged by Andrew Renner

Tips For Using This Tab:

1. The low E string/sixth string/thickest string is tuned down a ½ step to Eb. This
makes it possible to play the Eb7sus4 chord.

2. This Guitar Loop Cover can be played with any Loop Pedal. However, you will
need to stop the loop just before the Bridge section, which may require you to
hold or double press a loop pedal that has only a single footswitch.

3. Each section of the song is labeled. Sections that are recorded as loops are
labeled as such, Loop 1, Loop 2 etc. Other parts, like the “Melody” and “Bridge”,
are not looped.

4. Loop 1 (Drums) is played by mimicking the sounds of a drum set. When reading
the tab, an “x” on the low E string means to pluck the low E string while palm
muting, to mimic a kick drum. An “x” on the D string indicates strumming all of the
muted strings, to act like a snare drum and hi-hats.

5. Some of the articulations/techniques (hammer-ons and slides) for the “Melody”

6. Reference my ​YouTube cover​ and utilize the speed adjustment tool on YouTube
to slow the video down to 75 or 50% speed.

7. Be creative with how you play each part. This tab represents how I performed the
song. Every part is flexible and open to your own interpretation.

Thank you for checking out this tab, and have fun with it!
