THE HANDLER - Muse
Tabbed by: Nilschpilsch

After a long hiatus, here is my newest contribution of 'the handler' from the album 'drones' by muse!
A solid track with a kickass main riff!
The timing is, as always, hard to put in tab, but you can figure it out
pretty easily by listening. Also, the song is in drop D, but should you have a five string you can also play
using the B-string (no fast open string licks or anything).
I think the only part that could have minor issues is Riff 2, so please correct me should it be the case.
 
Tuning: DADG (drop D)
Tempo: 130 bpm

First 4 measures only guitar/drums
