Aly & Aj
I am One of Them
Into The Rush Album
2004
These 2 sisters are very pretty and talented especially Aly, Her voice is lovable too. I
the way they perform sincerely live, the way they play guitar and the way they write
They might sound Hilary duff, Ashlee simpson and Lindsay Lohan but these chicks aren't
crappy as the 3 I mentioned. Aly & Aj write songs with sense even though pop-rocky. They
sdo plucking at guitar both.
Tuning: Drop D on 3 guitars, piano
to prove to you that this song is played in Drop D, here's the videos to see how they
especially at the chorus where Aj plays the low E5--F5--G5 if you know what I mean
