Break Tab

This is the first full tab for this song, as the other one is a very incomplete attempt at the intro. I only tabbed out the one main guitar for the song. There is probably rhythm guitar buried somewhere in the mix, but it really can't be heard with any clarity and is not meant to be played.Was this info helpful?

let this ring out until 2:16 on this line when the next part starts with tons
of reverb and delay. For the first chord at 2:16, only hit that higher note of
the chord once, then vibrato only the lower note only the D string until you
slide down. Listen for timing

I can't tell what the guitar is doing here--it's heavily processed and sounds just like white
noise to me. I tabbed out the bass though in case you want to play that (UG won't let me put
only 4 lines for a bass part in a guitar tab otherwise I would do that)
