Email:*
Tuning: Standard(EADGBe)
I Editted the main riff a little bit, and now I think it's spot on with the recording.
first 3/4 of it are the same as I had it before, but in the 1/4 the strumming changes a
and so I think I've got it now. Enjoy!
INTRO: It layers itself with three parts, rhythm, lead riff, and solo
Pt.1
(Other Gutiar slides on low E with distortion)
Weird fingering here, but this is how It's done in the video
(NOTE: These are 13's and 10's, not 3's and 1's etc.)
