Americas Suitehearts Bass

Song: America’s Suiteheaers
Artist: Fall Out Boy
Album: Folie à Deux
Bassist: Pete Wentz
Tabbed by: Cole W.
 
Note: This song uses a combination of both picking and plucking.
You can easily play this song though with just a pick or just your fingers, but if you
more of an accurate sound, use both.
 
I tabbed this by watching a handful of live footage of Fall Out Boy preforming this
and watching where Pete's puts his hands on the fretboard.
 
 
Intro. Two ways you can play it, use either one you want.
