Ice Cream tab

Ice Cream

This band is awesome and I hope you enjoy this song!

This page includes the tab and the Chords w/lyrics.

I've included both Gianni and Ryan's parts along with the song in chord form at the bottom.

As usual, it's best to listen to the song while learning the tab to get a better of idea 
of what's going on.

Capo 2 - Sometimes the tab is given in real frets (5th fret = 5th fret) and in others 
it's given in relative frets (5th fret = 3rd fret from capo 2), however you should have a 
capo on the 2nd fret throughout the entire song.
Both guitars use the capo on the 2nd fret.

The "*" and X's at the end refer to when he does a pick scrape and then percussively 
taps the body of the guitar.

Note that in the video it looks like he is playing something else, but if you listen 
closely, the above is what he actually plays in the audio mix.

CHORUS 1

Though I used X's here in the chorus, in reality they are just playing those chords much 
softer than the other strums.
