Notes
------
The intro features 3 guitars.
Guitar1 is used to play the riff around the second fret.
Guitar2 provides a powerchord accompanyment.
Deep in the mix guitar 3 doubles the riff played by guitar1, but
up an octive. This can be first heard halfway through bar 4.
The verse sections are nominally the same.
Guitar 1 has a clean sound and picks an arpeggiated Dsus2 pattern.
Let the picked notes ring as you play them.
Guitar 2 is distorted and plays powerchords, these should be allowed
to sustain over the picked sections.
The verses are tabbed for 2 guitars since the D5 played by guitar 2
rings over the picking part, also the 2 parts have quite dissimilar
sounds. These can be combined into 1 part.
For the chorus Guitar 1 plays chords and short melody lines, and
Guitar 2 plays power chords.
The guitar solo is quite easy and is essentially 2 different phrases
repeated over a C5 to F5 chord progression.
