Philipp and I both worked on this GREAT song.
I have two versions of it. The second version is below this one.
Notes:
Intro/Verse – There is a weird effect going on here. Delay or reverb?
Pre-Chorus/Chorus – Octave chords. Listen to song to get it right!
Interlude – clean but palm mute it!
Bridge – palm mute the open chords.
Other – Just follow the song.
