Tom: A Tuning: 440/Standard EADGBe Comments: This isn't 100% dead on but we've played it live this way a few times and it's enough to fake out most people. I use mutted power chords in the D-A-G progression the end of the verses then flow into the riff, it seems to work really well. Then of switching for the third verse to a clean guitar until the riff kicks back in. Key: / = slide up = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t^ = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) () = Dive wbar (/) = Release wbar Tp = Tap wplectrum Riff 1: |--------------------| |--------------------| |---------7~-6~-4-2--| |--7h8h9-------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| Riff 2: |--------------------| |--------------------| |---------7-6-/11-9--| |--7h8h9-------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| Riff 3: |-------------------| |-------------------| |--------7---9---7--| |--7h8h9---7---7----| |-------------------| |-------------------|
