------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This the order it is played in.
(main riff intro) (5x)
(bridge w/ main riff) (3x)
(verse) (4x)
(chorus) (4x)
(main riff interlude) (4x)
(verse) (2x)
(chorus) (4x)
(outro) (10x)
1st Guitar - light distortion.
2nd Guitar - has a Vox amp fuzz sound.
3rd Guitar - has a organ sound and a little reverb on it.
And is faintly played in the background.
4th Guitar - same distortion as 1st Guitar.
~ - let ring
x - palm mute the notes above the x's.
b - bend
r - release
h - hammer
Just listen to the song to understand where all the parts come in at, like
the 4th Guitar filler. I tried to explain it best I could, but this is my
1st tab.
