Tabbed by:Ryan Noormohamed
Email:rnoormohamed@sbcglobal.net
Sup guys Im Ryan Noormohamed and im 15 years old, this is my first tab. It drove me
crazy that I couldnt find a good tab for this solo, so i figured it all out myself.
Its a great song and a great guitar solo so enjoy. Effects-wise, I use medium-heavy
distortion, a phaser, some reverb(arena), and a Dunlop Wah-Wah pedal. Listen to the
song to figure all of this out timing-wise, but anyways heres the solo.
Tuning: Standard Tuning

FUCKING AWESOME TAB DUDE! you totally nailed it man!
good tab, interesting to see the solo move down the strings as edge snapped them while recording
it sounds like the edge is playing on the D string still during the "love you shine...." part, but i could be wrong
