We have an official Sunburn tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This song uses arpeggios, chords and standard playing.
You can play this with one, or two guitars (they use two), so I've included both guitar parts.
To play the arpeggios, hold the chord shown in and pick the corresponding strings.
 
The picking pattern is the same all the way through

Final Chorus: Both Guitars
 
Same as Chorus (Play through Twice)
 
 
That's all of it.
 
If you want a bass playing something you can have it play:
 
G||-------|-------|--------|-------||
D||--9----|--7----|--10----|--7----||
A||-------|-------|--------|-------||
E||-------|-------|--------|-------||
NOTE: This is the progression from the bass note of the Guitar 2 Verse Riff.
 
You could also get the bass to improvise upon that and the Chorus would be different.

In chorus is that an Em or just E? You tabbed E but said the chord was Em
Thanks :D
Its Em ;) And the bass should to my opinion this: G||-------|-------|--------|-------|| D||--9----|--7----|--10----|--9----|| A||-------|-------|--------|-------|| E||-------|-------|--------|-------|| The 9 sound better into the song But thanks for tabbbing! Nice work ;)
