Artist: Jimmy Eat World
Title: Seventeen
Album: Static Prevails (1996)
Tuning: Dropped D Tuning
This is from their first album Static Prevails, lyrics were not sung by Jim Adkins official lead singer now but by second guitarist Tom Linton.
Anyways it’s Dropped D Tuning just like most Jimmy Eat World songs, I’ve tried arranging it for 2 guitars.
I have included a structure to help if you get stuck with the variations and all.
Hope it helps.
