I got a little help from my friends for this one!
Notes: The song is pretty simple, but plays beautifully. The intro requires a clean guitar with some reverb added. The pre chorus requires some right palm muting and the chorus requires some distortion. It's hard to give exact values, so just listen to the track and judge it for yourself.
