This is a fairly easy guitar riff that is very recognizable. You will need to have an electric guitar and heavy distortion pedal. This one will really help you to be able to use the whole neck and help you with your rhythm. There are some acoustic versions of this song. However, it really takes away from what the song was intended and that heavy rock!
Here Marty from GuitarJamz.com teaches you how to play these awesome songs. You’ll have to tune your guitar to drop D. Marty say’s drop D flat. However, the tabs that he’s teaching do line up with Drop D. Anyway, have fun with this one.
I’ll go ahead and post an acoustic version if you want to sing the song. Check it out below!

Acoustic Version | Standard Tuning
One Step Closer Tabs by Nagyovafan You can put a capo wherever. I can't figure out what it is in the song, but I think it's capo 1. Intro : Em C Am Em X 2 Am C Am Em I cannot take this anymore C Am Em I'm saying everything I've said before C All these words they make no sense Am Em I find bliss in ignorance C Less I hear the less you'll say Am Em But you'll find that out anyway C Em Just like before... Chorus : Em C Everything you say to me Em C Am Takes me one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break C I need a little room to breathe Em C Am Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break Em C Am Em I find the answers aren't so clear Em C Am Em Wish I could find a way to disappear C All these thoughts they make no sense Am Em I find bliss in ignorance C Nothing seems to go away Am Em Over and over again C Em Just like before... Chorus : Everything you say to me Em C Everything you say to me Em C Am Takes me one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break C I need a little room to breathe Em C Am Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break Em C Everything you say to me Em C Am Takes me one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break C I need a little room to breathe Em C Am Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break Em C Am Em X 3 Em C Am Em shut up when I'm talking to you Em Em C Am Am X3 shut up X3 Em C Em Em Em Em shut up when I'm talking to you Em Em C Am Am X3 shut up X3 I'm about to break Chorus : Everything you say to me Em C Everything you say to me Em C Am Takes me one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break C I need a little room to breathe Em C Am Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break Em C Everything you say to me Em C Am Takes me one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break C I need a little room to breathe Em C Am Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Em And I'm about to break
