Tab request, Prong: Snap your fingers, snap your neck


Prong
Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Transcribed By Robert Day

***Make sure you're in Drop C tuning!!!!

Intro
     pm  . 
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------(0)------------------
A----------------------------------0------------------------------------------0-------------------
F----------------------------------0------------------------------------------0-------------------
C-----------0---------------0------0-------------------0---------------0------0---------------X\--
G----4---3--0---------------4--------------------------0---------------4----------------------X\--
C----4---3--0--------------(3)-------------------------0--------------(3)---------------------6\--

Use hard palm-mutes, pressing down on the open strings with your picking hand to slightly bend the open C notes sharp.
This gives the subtle impression that the first fret is being barred.
