This song isn't very difficult, but the main arpeggio is a bit fast. Just play with it
you get the rhythm down.
Alternate picking is pretty essential if you want to play it smoothly.
Tuning (low to high): Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (drop D, half step down)
Main riff:
(acoustic guitar, layered with clean electric with barely any distortion.)

Chorus:

Not too difficult, right?
