Almost every Riff has 2 guitars at the same time. If you see 2 staffs connected, or 3 staffs connected, that means there is 3 guitars for that part. The top staff is Gtr 1, next down is Gtr 2 etc..... If you see more than one version tab of this song, consider mine to be correct and the other to be crap. I wouldn't have to tab songs that have already been tabbed if people would submit complete and correct tabs. Now go tear it up. ================================================================================ . - palm mute / - slide up to \ - slide down to ~ - vibrato h - hammer on b - Bend p - pull off
