Parallels - As I Lay Dying
-This is my first tab I've ever written, I hope it doesn't suck.
-I know this song is normally in D standard with the 4th string left untouched but I
it this way because I don't feel like tuning my guitar that way :p
-Most of this I have gotten off of the internet so I don't want to take much credit for
but i changed some things to suit my playing style and to make it a little easier.
-I'm not putting in palm mutes... you should be able to figure that out.

Bridge
The notes are in odd timing on the bridge here so I'm going to do every -#-
is a beat so like -13-14 would be 2 beats okay. the x will just mean skip a beat... or
the note... they have really no significance whatsoever... it is just there to help you
with the timing between the notes. Get it? good... here we go

okay now for the next part of the 'solo'. This is kind of odd too. The first note for
2 should be played when guitar 1 plays the note on the 20th fret of the e string
