ok thats pretty much it, i havent tabbed the end solo
yet, but if anyone wants it just drop me an e-mail and
i will tab it out for ya..
Enjoy
to Lirikai, the tuning IS drop-D, but I think it's 1/4 step sharp - play along wit the CD or video clip, you'll see what I mean - your "normal" standard or flat intervals sound too sour, I've taken it to my guitar teacher and he agreed. Maybe the solo in this tab is not quite spot on, but overall a good job.
well I'm not quite sure still about the 1/4 step up pitch, but it's drop-f***ing-D tuning
The intermission (under the solo) is wrong
