Okay, so I can't take all the credit for this. I just used some of the chords from the
version that someone tabbed out. They were unregistered so I can't exactly give them
credit for a few of the chords. Anyway, since we got that out of the way, I did add in
the lead parts and changed up some of the other riffs.
 
Guitar 1(lead)
Guitar 2(rhythm)

I got that right. If you have any questions or comments email me at

kadence, shut up, you don't play like that, listen to the music with headphones and you can hear everything more clearly. very good tecnique

like it :)

so u dont hear the scale that goes like this the 2nd time through? E|-------------------------------------------------|| B|-------------------------------------------------|| G|-4x-2x-------------4x-2x-------------------------|| D|-4x-2x--4x-2x------4x-2x--4x---2x-4x-5x-7x-------|| A|-2x-0x--4x-2x------2x-0x--4x---2x-4x-5x-7x-------|| E|--------2x-0x-------------2x---0x-2x-3x-5x-------|| *********** If you really dont hear that, then im starting to wonder if possibly maybe, you have the pre-released version of the song? I have no idea how different that version is, or if it is very different, but its as if im imagining chords...
