*do not let the second stroke on each chord ring. mute the strings with your pick hand
immediately after you strike the chord
**if you want to, you can also add a muted stroke in between the Bm chord and the B5
to achieve a more staccato-type sound

                                           x2       the chorus
 
second time guitar 2 enters with distortion playing the same thing (except goes to the
notes of the B5 twice instead of once)
 
as for the second guitar in the second verse, he's playing intervals, different combinations
of C#, Eb, B and one or two other notes... its easy enough to figure out.

i believe the rythem guitar is playing the chorus under the solo but i'm not 100% on that
 
This tab is not 100% correct, i'm not going to pretend i'm some musical genius, however
do believe that it is very close.  I made this tab just to get another Sufferer and
song up, (caus that cd kicks so much ass) and it is meant to be a basic rendering of the
 I would love to hear corrections and additions, especially the chorus. When you read
tab listen to the song, and if it doesn't sound right to you, go with how you think it
tabs on this site are hardley ever correct over your ear, i've found from experience.
p.s. sorry for the grammar, its late.
 
Please send any corrections/additions and the chorus to reston.88@gmail.com

this song is amazing, and good tab, but your verses dont sound that right to me and the chorus, i think it should be somethin like this g-88888888-66666666----------44444444 d-88888888-66666666-66666666-44444444 a-66666666-44444444-66666666-22222222 e-------------------44444444---------
