I would just add: Hook your guitar to your belt, and be sure to play with a frown. Good stuff.

This is fucking awesome. I've been after this tab for a long time. Previously, I only came across another on another tab site, much farther up the fret board and without harmonics. It didn't even sound close. I'm not an expert, but from what I've been playing of this one so far, it seems to be right on. Thanks a ton! :)

umm...I'm a full blown newbie idiot. somehow I wanted to say 'nice tab. gonna blow it up right now blah blah blah and, well, somehow put myself down as author of the tab...??...umm. i'm also getting resistance trying to remember how I did it or what your tag was. was it cheese gorgonzola or something? shit. serious like though. i'm gonna try to fix it. get at me if you find this and trip. real sorry. and i'm also gonna say: nice tab. gonna blow it up right now and see. again sorry but mostly thanks. albini is rock solid. love it love it love it.
