This Is Such A Pity
"This is Such a Pity" by Weezer
TAB by Aaron Prescott
This is such a ... good song! (ha ... ha ...)
With guitars 3 and 4 in the solo, for the first 8 bars, guitar 3 plays whatever is on
the G String and guitar 4 plays whatever is on the D String. For the last 8 bars,
guitar 3 plays whatever is on the E String and guitar 4 plays whatever is on the B
String. You'll probably want to play it so that you don't move your hands around
so much, like move a couple notes up or down to a different string. I'm just trying
to save staff space. In Guitar 2's part in the refrain and prechorus, I may be adding
notes that aren't there, but I think it sounds good. I know for a fact that the top note
f the arpeggio is always there. The chords are correct, though. "D.S." means go back to
the segno sign ("%": I can't think of a better one) at the beginning of the verse. This
is probably the most correct/complete tab of this song. Sorry it's a little hard to read.
