Am7 = 5*555* (in pre-chorus)

I saw some comments on this tab, it may look a little confusing but
the normal n and v are just down and upstrokes
(so: n=downstroke, v=upstroke) and the N means you have to play it
louder. The x's mean you have to damp the strings, they're all
barrechords so that's not very hard. Also, the strum in the chorus, interlude and bridge
everywhere the same, so then just only watch to
the chords above. Good luck, and please rate it better, I'm pretty
sure this is an accurate tab. ;-)

This is easily the most confusing tab I've ever seen.

I admit it might look confusing at first, but if you read down the tab what is meant by all the signs you can figure it out. It's just a difficult song on the guitar with a lot of special effects etc. so this was the only way to write it out correctly.

These tabs are just more detailed. Just because people aren't advanced enough to read them doesn't mean that they are bad.
