1. this tab is straight from the official tab book 2. I write tabs with "phrases" of the guitar. I do not put the actual notes on the tab. Conclusion-->This tab is right. You're a phucking moron. Go bother someone else.

hey fuzz play the notes that you see. oH, and please don't tell me you can play it just like the recording. you're on this phucking site because you cannot play it douche. stop attacking others work if you cant do any better. please stop commenting. play the tab in 8th notes, douche. play it in whatever time you want.
