O.A.R. - Conquering Fools Tabs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning:	EADGBe
Key:	        E-Major
Tone:	For the lead use a single coil neck pickup with the tone knob rolled back just a
                bit, through the clean channel with reverb.  Rhythm is played on an acoustic.

Rhythm:	Marc uses reggae style strumming, which means lots there is a lot muting and
                playing is done on upstrokes.  He plays in patterns of four strokes, and on the 
                third beat (upstroke) he plays the actual chord, and the rest is muted.  Using 
                barre chords makes this a heck of a lot easier.

Lead:	Richard plays in basically the same way as the rhythm above.  Use mostly 
                upstrokes focus on the highest three strings.  For solos, if you want to
                improvise, just use E Ionian (major) scale.

Solo - very easy and repetitive, I’m not going to tab it out (if you really
want it, ask me and I’ll put it down)
