The III'd Empire is written/played in Drop C#, not Drop C
The tab's inaccurate, also. How are people supposed to jump from the 5th to 12th fret that quickly?
Hmm okay that would explain why i was having trouble getting the right sound. And I know what you mean about the 5 to 12 jump, but I really couldn't get anything else to sound right. It would be a lot easier if I had an actual guitar and didn't have to do it all in Power Tab. But thanks for the criticism. I welcome any help you can give and I'll try and fix this
