Hangnail by Nickelback
Bassist Mike Kroeger
This song is tuned from lowest to highest : (B, Gb, B, E)
This song goes pretty fast, especially in the verses. I am 100% sure, no doubt
about it that this tab is correct. It’s kind of hard, but there isn’t much to it.

Every time you change frets, you leave a noticeable space between notes. Also, when
you get to playing the chorus 4 times, there are still the same amount of notes, but it
gets rhythmically different. It’s very easy to figure out though if you listen to the song.
