Wrong Tuning Dont Sound Very Correct at all
Hmm i dont know what this [xmari3nx] is talking about...great tab...correct tuning, but i believe that Billy uses C# (C# F# B E G# C#) most of the time...but this tab is great, 100 percent satisfied =D
It seems to be pretty much perfect... except you got lazy man. Show all 6 strings not just 2, like you did for guitar 1 on the chorus. Still 5 stars but if you are going to do something you may as well do it right.
