This is Feuer und Wasser (Fire and Water) by my favorite band, Rammstein.
Right now this is my favorite song of theirs and apparently you like it just as much.
It's about a man watching a woman as she swims every night. But she ignores him and he rapes her.
Then he feels really bad about it. I mean really, really bad about it. It's sad but it
a lot of feeling in it.
It's a very easy song once you get the hang of it. The tunning for this song is C-G-C-F-A-D.
That's drop D but one whole step lower. Also, this song doesn't take much to make it sound right.
When my little POS amp has full distortion, bass, and treble, it sounds perfect. Enjoy;
If you listen you can hear the open note on the fourth string(The one in parenthasies)
It was probably just an accident but I play it that way for the hell of it.

And below if you listen you can hear Richard's fingers grazing the strings as he moves
the frets. You may notice that
when you play along the sound of your finges grazing the strings doesn't match the sound
his. Now, if you're as into
sounding just like the song as I am, pay attention and use your imagination; When
index finger is holding the
third fret on the third string, his pinky (or ring finger if he/you can stretch it that
is on the fifth fret on the
second string. Keeping fingers in this position he moves his hand up so that his index
is now on the fifth fret on
the third string and his pinky is on the seventh fret on the second string. Then he
up again and his index finger is
on the seventh fret on the second string and his pinky is on the eigth fret on the
string. Then, after you've
figured this out; repeat.

Solo time. For those of you you aren't very good at fast, complex solos you shouldn't
a problem here.
This one sounds good but is quite slow. It stays between 12 and 15 for almost the duration of the solo.

And that's it. I hope I could help you in your quest to Ramstein-dom and I hope this
you to truly master this song.
Enjoy,
