In the original version of “In the End,” the guitar part on the verses is usually played in harmonics, adding a distinctive atmosphere to the song. However, to make it easier to learn, we have simplified this part by simply playing the high notes of each chord. This allows beginners to focus on finger placement and note accuracy without having to master specific harmonic techniques.
On the choruses, the same sequence of notes is played but with an overdriven tone, adding power and intensity to these more dynamic sections of the song. This approach allows beginning guitarists to get used to changing between a clean and overdriven sound while maintaining consistency in chord progression. By combining these elements, this simplified version of the guitar part of “In the End” offers a gradual introduction to this iconic technique of the song while retaining its recognizable essence.

When the song “In the End” is tuned in drop D -1/2 tone, this means that the guitar is tuned a half step lower than standard tuning, and the D (D) string is lowered an additional semitone. This creates a specific tuning that makes power chords easier to play, because each chord can be played using the same fingering shape on a single fret.
The D -1/2 tone drop allows for a heavier and darker sound, characteristic of the nu metal style to which Linkin Park belongs. Power chords, which are chords made up of the root and the fifth, are frequently used in this musical genre to create powerful and energetic riffs.
Using this tuning, guitarists can play the power chords of “In the End” with relative ease, as they only need to move the same fingering shape along the neck of the guitar to play different chords. This simplifies the playing process while still achieving a heavy, punchy sound, in perfect harmony with the musical style of the song.
