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..... Listen to song for exact timings. The Song Structure can be found at the bottom of the page. Some of the notes that are denoted hammer-on or pull-off are really slides. It just made it easer to write the tab that way. Use your good judgement as to which notes I refer to. 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 Suffixes for bend t - tap f - full bend h - half bend [] - pinched harmonic q - quarter bend t - tap bend * - see comment ^ - Hold bend r release bend x - Stuccatto ~ - vibrato bend , - slight palm mute () - ghost note, sustained note " - tremolo note <> - Trill ================================================================================ Riff 1 |---------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------| |-5h6p5----------------------10h12p10---8h10p8---6h8p6-5h6p5----| |--------0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0-----------0--------0----------------| . . . . . . . . . . |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--5h7p5-0-3h5p3-0-1h3p1-0h1p0----| . . . . . . . . . . |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |-------------------5-------------------| |---------------5-7----8-7--8-7-5-------| |----------------------------------7----| |-0--0-0-0--0-0-------------------------| | . . . . . . |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------| |-------------------7-------------------| |---------------7h8---10-8-10-8-7-------| |-0--0-0-0--0-0-------------------10----| . . . . . .
