Let's first start out by saying that there were some
other attempts at this song, and they really weren't
that far off. I mean this song isn't too hard, since
I was picking it up without even looking for a tab.
Anyways, this song is pretty basic for playing, but
the structure and patterns is not the normal structure
of a song, so it took me a bit to make sure the timings
were right. With that said, here it is:
Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD)
* = Palm Mute
@ = Pinched harmonic
x = muted
