Tuning: Standard


Not so much a solo as it is a lead melody, this is the guitar line that Dom Brown plays during
the choruses and outro to the band’s 2007 single, “Falling Down”. You can’t hear it as well
on the album version, but he seems to be playing the first few notes of the solo in an up-and-down
motion each time he goes through it. It just repeats itself over and over, so
around with it a bit and you should be able to get the hang of the riff by just listening
to the track… it’s pretty simple to learn.

And just in case, here it is lower on the fretboard if you’re playing this song on an
acoustic guitar.
