INTRO:
Guitar1, (clean)
-A--Em--G- The G is played like: 32003x except 3rd time where
its played like 320033 . The fills are below:
----------------2h3-3/5-5/7-5- -2h3/5/7hb\------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Then comes:
Guitar2, (distorted)
--------------------------------------------- -2-2--2---2-0-2-2---2-2-2----2-2-2---2-2--2-- -2-2--4p2-2-0-2-2---2-2-4p2--2-2-2---2-2--2-- -2-2--2---2-0-2-2---2-2-2----2-2-2---2-2--2-- -0-0--0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0--0-0-0---0-0--0-- ---------------------------------------------
Then both guitars play G then D/F#, these can be played in two different
ways either as open chords: G 320033 , D/F# 200232 or as barre chords:
G 355233 , D/F# 254232 .
The majority of the song revolves around A, G, and D/F#.
Guitar2 continues playing this progression:
--A----G--D/F#--A----G--A----G--
During the beginning of this, Guitar1 plays a little solo:
--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- -6>---6-6hbhr6h7r6--------------------------------- -----9------------7/(14)---------12-11-12-11------- -------------------------*12hbhr-------------*12>-- ---------------------------------------------------
And where the progression above holds on the G chord twice there is
a G note played on the 5th fret of the D string in unison.
Guitar2 then repeatly plays Riff1 until the quiet part:
Riff1:
-A--G--D/F#-
Under the progression there is a little riff:
-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>-------------------- ---------4-5-7----------------4-5-7----------4-5-4-5-4h5p5---- -5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--
Now when Riff1 stops on the D/F# chord, slide up the F# note
on the 2nd fret of the low-E string to a G note on the 3rd
fret of the same string while partially muting the other strings.
Riff1 continues and this solo is played over it:
--------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------10>--8h10p8---8/14>--- -10>------------------------------9-11>--------------11-------- -----11h12-11-9-11-11h12p11p9---------------------------------- ------------------------------12------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- --16hbhr-14*14hb>>--17fbfr-(18)-------------------------- ----------------------------^-mute with another finger--- --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
Now the quiet part comes in. It's just the A, G, D/F# chords
played over, but arpeggiated with certain notes left out.
[A]_ [G]_ [A]_ [G]_ [A]_ [G]_ [D/F#] _ [G]^--distortion comes back
x x x x x 3 0
x 0 x 0 x 0 3
2 0 2 0 2 0 0
2 0 2 x 2 0 4
0 x 0 x 0 x x
x 3 x 3 x 3 2
- - - - - - -
Now Guitar2 starts playing Riff1 again.
These fills are also played over it:
-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- --12p11p9-11p9--------------------------/11--12--14>>--- --------------10h12--10-9h10p9>------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>-------------------- ---------4-5-7----------------4-5-7----------4-5-4-5-4h5p5---- -5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--
Riff1 ends on A and the song slows down again playing
this Riff2:
-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------0-----0----------------------------0-----0------- -----9-----0--------11-12-11-9-11-9-----9-----0--------- --10-----9----------0--0--0--0-0--0--10-----9----------- -------------------------------------------------------- ^-------------------------------^-------Riff2 repeats.
And this solo comes during Riff2:
-------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------19fb------ --------------------------------16fbfr-14>>--------X\--- -5>>--7>>>----5-5-/9-/11-/14>----------------------X\--- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- --18h19r18h19r18r16h18r16h18r16--X\--------------------- ---------------------------------X\--------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
The X\'s are pick slides. The first pick slide should be fast and
over the pickups on the indicated strings, this should give a
similiar sound. The second is a tad bit slower well in front of
the lead pickup.
Riff2 then continues with distortion, and the song ends on an A chord.
