Sweetest Air (acoustic) - This Time Next Year
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Tabbed by: Mister Meh


This is, by far, my favorite song by This Time Next Year - It's amazing. "Flat" out 
(Sorry, bad pun. You'll get it later). This is my also my first tab, so if you have any 
corrections or additions, just email me and I will try to fix up

the tab.

I'm not going to put up the rhythym - Just use this to get the chords and riffs right.

Guitar 1: Half Step Down - This one plays the chords and a few riffs in the songs

Guitar 2: Half Step Down - This one plays some chords, but a majority of the time it's 
playing riffs. (The song sounds okay without this, so if you're learning it solo, learn 
guitar 1)

Everything is tabbed in line with the tuning - the riffs, the chords, the chord names, ect.

sounds better if you pick each individual note)
