Chord Built To Fall Acoustic by Trivium

i was aimlessly wandering around on youtube and i came around this performance from matt heafy that he did on a rooftop in paris and was very impressed from what i saw and heard . after about a dozen or so times of watching matt play this song i also realized that this was a fairly simple song . if you’re unsure about what video i’m speaking of , the link is : it maybe a little tough for beginners , due to all the little riffs and timing , but it’s honestly not that hard after some persistent practicing . if you have any problems with the hitting the bass notes to the chords , rhythm , or when to palm mute , just watch the video in the link i gave you and it should help a lot . once you’ve made your final judgement of the tab , please rate and comment . tab symbols : v = vibrato h = hammer - on / = slide . = palm mute writing = these are just my own personal notes for the reader . i recommend looking at them for specifics . hopefully they help . chords : c#g#c#f#a#d# C#5 : 0 0 0 x x x F5 : 3 3 3 x x x c#5’ : 0 0 x x x x this chord is always palm muted . shortened down to C .
