Shook Down

From their self-titled debut album (2011)
A great band who don't get enough credit for their songwriting and should be huge!

I watched loads of youtube videos to tab this and I'm pretty sure this is how they play it :)

The lead sometimes plucks notes from the chords during the chorus but the
basic pattern is exactly the same.

(you can play the notes on the 12th fret of the G string at the 17th fret of the
D string but that's not how he plays it live)

Solo: (live Version)
The first bit is the same but the 2nd time round he adds some stuff

Just a cheat way I figured out of making it sound like both guitars

Please rate if this helped!

P.S. thanks to whoever commented at the bottom with the correction for the B7 chord in the chorus
