Biography:
Just because The Higher can bust out pop tunes, it doesn't mean that's what defines them.

"We fuse the rock and R&B that we know, and put it into our own words," founding member and bassist Jason "Face" Centeno says, citing Michael Jackson, The Dream, Al Green, Jimmy Eat World, and Maroon 5 as influences.
Now seven years since they first formed in 2002

bridge the Db/F is played as such
e|-1-|
B|-2-|
G|-1-| You may also substitute this for C# if you're
D|-3-| having problems switching to this quickly
A|-4-|
E|-1-|
