Reckoning - Killswitch Engage

I used a lot from Chris Tranmer (face_the_fear) and just fixed and added parts. He
hasn't been on for a while so I doubt he would make corrections so here you go.
Hope it is correct
Also, I got some of this from watching Metal Reda.

I realized at the end of this that the part in the chorus riff where you play in the F
instead of the C may be a second guitar recorded in. But there is both the C version and
F version in the 2nd and 4th time you repeat the riff. So whether or not you play
it is a matter of preference.
Hope all is correct, if you see a problem go ahead and comment below. I will be here to
correct and change, as well as give due credit.
Once again most of this tab was made by Chris Tranmer (face_the_fear) and parts are from
watching Metal Reda, im just here to supply a more correct tab. Hope this helps.
