Tuning: This is tuned down half a step and then to drop D: In other words (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)
The guitar needs fuzz or distortion throughout the song. I used my Big Muff PI and it
sounded great.
These are the basic main 3 riffs used in the song:
Riff 1:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|D|00000000000000000000000000000000999999997777777772222222122222222|A|00000000000000000000000000000000999999997777777772222222122222222|D|00000000000000000000000000000000999999997777777772222222122222222|
This bit I am unsure of the exact notation but if you play the open sixth sting and
throw in some twelth fret it should be fine
Riff 2 part on open string (what i do mainly):
e|--------------------|B|--------------------|G|--------------------|D|--------------------|A|--------------------|D|00001200012001200120| It's not fret 1 and 2 but fret 12
Riff 3 (Effectively riff 1 but only on the sixth string.):
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|D|00000000000000000000000000000000999999997777777772222222122222222| Palm Mute ------->
