Although Ryknow plays on a 5-string [G C G C F] you can play it fine on a 4-string tuned to
drop-d minus 1 step [C G C F]. The best eq for this is keeping your low-end much louder than
your high-end, and having the volume fairly low if you're playing with guitar.
T - Slapped
S - Popped
() - Muted Slap/Pop [don't let the note ring out]
h - Hammer-on
p - Pull-off
x - Dead note

The main riff is repeated aside from the chorus, modified main riff, the outro, and a few
obvious breaks. It should be really easy to follow with the song.
This sounds fairly right, but as always it's impossible to be 100% sure. I'll update it if
I find any mistakes.
