This is an awesome song that I had never heard before
until someone requested to me to tab it out. Now I
love the song.
In the recording, there is only one guitar until the
solo, where one guitar does the background riff and
the other one does the solo (there’s also the short
harmonized solo, the only place Guitar 3 comes in).
I’m going to tab it just like it’s recorded. But if
you’re playing it in a band, just have both guitars
do the same thing until the solo and then you can
split them up, obviously.

COMPLICATED AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND LOOKING AT THE SONG
ORDER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAB SO YOU DON’T GET CONFUSED.
