_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ Okay, for the main riff of the song, _ it's going to be driven off of your 6th and 5th strings.
_ Open on the 6th, [G#] 7th fret on the 5th, strike it as a chord. _ _ _ _
Strike again.
_ _ 9th fret on your _ _ _ 7th, _ [D] and open on your 6th string.
So slowly.
You _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] want to land on your 3rd fret 6th string, it's a [F] shape of a G power [E] chord.
_ _ _ So after you land the strike, you want to strike again.
_ Lift off your [C#] index finger, _ [E] back down, _ [C#] and then open on your 6th string.
_ _ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Back to your first position.
_ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] This time, _ landing on your 8th fret power chord off of your 6th string, _ and _ same pattern.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ Open 6th.
[A] Ending each transition with an open on the 6th [E] string just seems to sound a little better
and it gives you a little transition point.
So let me run [A] that riff slow.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] It starts off the intro and the first verse with an open.
_ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [N] And all you're going to need to do is just add a palm mute for pretty much the rest of
the verses and, you know, behind the solo.
[C#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Okay, for the chorus, you're going to use an E power chord shape.
[F#] Open 6th string, 2nd fret [C#] on the 5th.
_ _ Over [N] to a G power chord shape, it's going to be off your 6th string 3rd [E] fret.
_ _ [F#] And down to a D power chord shape, which is [A] on your 5th string [B] 5th fret. _
_ _ _ The variation every other time will be from [A] sliding up on your 5th fret 6th string up
to your 7th [D#] fret. _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ So it's pretty straightforward.
I'm going to run it slow so you can get the rhythm.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _
So [A] for the solo, _ the best way I found to play it, you just want to play everything off your 5th [G#] string. _
Start off on your 14th fret.
_ _ [D#] _ _
[G#m] Get down to your 5th fret.
_ [C#] Up to your 7th.
_ _ [F#] Back up to the [G#] 14th. _
_ _ [G#m] And then you're going to end on [C#] the 7th. _ _
_ Now there's a fair amount of production and feedback and whatnot going on in the recording.
[F#] You just want to tremolo pick it and get your timing down by following along with _ what I
played earlier with the CD.
_ _ So let me give you a slower example. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Like I said, you really want to rip that.
Really rip this tremolo. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ So for the outro, you're pretty much just going to be ripping the main riff [A] on palm muted.
[F#] And there's just a little fill at the end there.
So [A] pretty much [F#] just going to end on the 8th fret off of the [A] 16th power chord _ with some
string mutes in between. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ Down to the 7th. _ _ _
_ _ _ Back into the [C#] intro riff.
