Artist: Downhere
Song: Larger Than Life
Tuning: DADGBe
***This is a great song, with pretty simple instrumentation. The album version of course
is for a full rock band, with multiple guitar parts. For the purposes of this tab
however, I am writing out the parts for one acoustic guitar. I will try an incorporate a
mimic of some of the other riffs which are played on a second guitar, for instance in the
Intro. This is meant to be a guide for those who want to play it solo. Feel it our for
yourself in terms of rhythm, strum pattern, time signature, etc.***

You can simulate the 2 guitar parts by combining the intro riff into the strumming of
the chords. Above is a rough outline of the Riff, and is not exact. Feel it out as you
will. The Riff is roughly the same melody for the lyrics in the verses.
