I think I've figured out this song pretty well. The solo is 100%
right, and I'm quite sure the rest is, too.
In this song, there are two electric guitars, Guitar 1 handles
the main part of the song, Guitar 2 does the chords on the solo
and bridge, and the Intro-part at the end of the song.
In the verses it could be either doubling Guitar 1 or not do
anything at all.
Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 could change roles on multiple occasions, for
instance, Guitar 2 could do the solo while Guitar 1 strums the chords
during the solo, then Guitar 1 would also have to play the bridge.
Tablature explanation:
^2x - play the above note/chord 2 times
2x - play the entire bar in front of the sign 2 times
-8b10- - bend the string from the eight fret up to the 10th
-10r8- - release the string - bended to the 10th fret - back to the 8th
-11s10- - slide from the 11th to the 10th fret
-12v- - play the 12th fret with vibrato
-14~- - the note at the 14th fret keeps ringing
[PM] - palm-mute the above note/chord
INTRO: 0.00-0.10
There are two ways to play the intro. The easiest one, is where the bass guitar
(or Guitar 2) plays the lower double notes and Guitar 1 just plays the higher ones.
Guitar 1 (clean):
e---------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------
A--4--4--4--6--6--6--8--8--8--9--9--9--8--8--8--6--6--6--8-~----
E--------------------------------------------------------6-~----
The last two notes should be ringing until the first couplet, and
as an intro to the first couplet the distortion on Guitar 1 is
driven up until it reaches the level of distortion for the first couplet.
You can also play the lower notes yourself if
you want. Then the tab would be like this:
e---------------------------------------------------------------

BRIDGE: 1.50-2.10
Guitar 1 (Distortion): the last note of the solo is ringing here.
Guitar 2 (Distortion):
e---------------------------
B---------------------------
G--------------------------- As an intro to the chorus, the bridge ends
D-11--10--11--8--11--10--8-- with a very cool effect on Guitar 1, but
A-11--10--11--8--11--10--8-- I can't find out how this was done. If someone
E-9---8---9---6--9---8---6-- knows,please mail to bornfidelity1@hotmail.com.
CHORUS again - 2.10 2.30
INTRO again: 2.30-2.40
Only this time, the Intro-part is played by Guitar 2, with a bit more
distortion than Guitar 1 had at the beginning of the song.
This is also why the Intro-part is louder this time than at
the beginning of the song.
Guitar 1 has the last chord of the Chorus ringing.
