FULL Solo - first section was easy to tab, but after that, wasnt so easy
(the main reason I made this was to tab out the full solo which the others
dont have, and various other mistakes in the other tablatures)

Then youre finished, this was real good fun tabbing this, hope you enjoy
it as much as Ive been tabbing for these 3 days (dont be harsh, this is
my first:D). - Muse_freek
Legend –
x - muted note
/ - slide up/down
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
b - bend
bu - bend and bend back
P.M... - palm muting
() - Alternative note
sounds good
Great TAB but just a small but very significant correction. This applies to the whole of the Bass tab as well as Matt's guitar line for Verse 2. At the start of the run on the A string after the run on the D string there is only 1 open A string note (I told you it was a small deal!). However, if you leave it in it throws out the whole timing. You have to hit that fret 10 note on the second beat.
Hope this helps anyone who was struggling with that extra note!
