Here are tabs for most Linkin Park songs. I'm 14 and have been playing guitar for 5 months and this is the first time I've tried to tab songs so bear with me if there are one or two mistakes. I think it's pretty much 100% correct unless I or someone else finds a mistake or typo.

LINKIN PARK
HYBRID THEORY EP
[HYBRID THEORY]
METEORA
and more..
/= slide up
= slide down
x= mute note
*= harmonic
h= hammer on
Note: since Linkin Park play a lot of harmonics in their songs, I suggest that every time a harmonic is played, you strum/pick that string close to the bridge/tailpiece to produce a cleaner harmonic sound. Also when playing harmonics, plug the guitar into an effects pedal so you can actually hear the harmonics well - especially on harmonics 9* and 3* - like a compression sustain pedal or a distortion pedal (depending on which part of the song and what it sounds like). Harmonics often sound crappy or too quiet without effects and they definitely heighten the sound of the harmonics. And always have your guitar perfectly in tune and place your finger in the exact, precise fret to play the harmonic note. If you can do that, you can definitely achieve the right sound.

3. With You
Note: the guitarist, Brad uses a 7-string Ibanez to play this song
Standard Tuning: low to high: B, E, A, D, G, b, e,
To play on 6-string guitar, tune to standard 7 string and play the same as 7-string except ignore the highest string (e), which isn't even used in this song. I suggest if u do so, buy thick strings or bass strings for the heavy string, and switch the other strings one space over (subtract the highest string (e) off) so that the lowest string (B) is that thick string to make it sound better.

Chorus Guitar 2: originally distorted keyboard done by the DJ, but converted to guitar 2. It's pretty much the same as the verse except with distortion and I lined it up with the chorus tabs above so you can tell the timing between the two parts, but it's pretty easy to figure out by ear. Also, this isn't played in the Bridge, only Guitar 1 is.

METEORA
1. Foreword
No guitar in this song
2. Don't Stay
Tuning: low to high: [dropped-B] B, F#, B, E, G#, C#
Note: Normally, in a song with such low tuning, Brad would use a 7-string Ibanez but in this case, as said in the interview with him in Guitar World Magazine, he uses an Ibanez 6-string RG model that has an extended scale, which allows for thicker strings and lower tuning without making it sound like crap. A regular 6-string won't give you as good a sound as an extended scale or 7-string with such a low tuning. As said in the CD booklet, Mike and Brad both play guitar in this song, but their guitar parts are the same, also explaining the absence of Mike's vocals. Enough said.
Intro/verse [quiet fuzz, with lots of treble and some other effects]
(2nd guitar, Mike probably doesn't play this, especially at live shows because it's quiet compared to the rest of the song, and Brad is the main guitarist so he probably plays it. But that's just my theory)

3. Somewhere I Belong
Tuning: low to high: B, E, A, D, G, B
MUST READ: Ok, if you want to play it exactly like Brad then keep reading, but it's quite complicated, because LP have so many alternate tunings and guitar layering and stuff it makes it hard to understand and I think this song is the most complicated to figure out. If you don't care if it's perfect or not, stop reading and scroll to the bottom where I have tabs for this song in the more preferred dropped-d tuning and it practically sounds the same, just not as heavy.
In Guitar World Magazine, Brad explains about his tuning for this song: "DELSON: ... instead of playing a 7-string, I'm using an Ibanez Prestige that's in standard 440, but I'm leaving the high E string off and starting with a low B instead. So it's B, E, A, D, G, B. And the first single, "Somewhere I Belong" uses that tuning..."
In other words, for all you beginners out there, is that he tunes it to a standard tuning for a 7-string guitar, and since he never uses the high E string, he chose to take that same tuning with the heavy B string -which is the 7th string- and convert that onto a 6-string, subtracting the high E string that he never uses. I personally prefer the 7-string guitar concept, and he could have used dropped-d tuning in this song, but he probably goes baritone and uses very thick strings, most likely 7-string type strings with the low B instead of down-tuning an E string. In this case, Brad himself told us the tuning and could it be anymore correct than coming from Big Bad Brad himself?

If I check back and realize I've made a mistake, I'll repost the corrections. I'll begin to tab their new cd as soon as it comes out but that wont be awhile. I have some reanimation tabs I didnt bother to post, so if u want them or need help understanding the tabs above or wanna give me corrections or maybe even get bass and drum tabs, please email me at shutup_when_im_talkin_to_you@hotmail.com. thanks
