None of the tabs here were quite right,
especially the intro/chorus riff,
so I decided to give it a go. Tabbed for
two guitars: G1 (rhythm, distorted) and
G2 (lead,distorted).
 
Hammer-on: h (Both Notes Are Picked Unless
They’re In Parentheses)
 
Pull-off: p (Both Notes Are Picked Unless
They’re In Parentheses)
 
Slide: / or \ (Both Notes Are Picked
Unless They’re In Parentheses)
 
Sustain: = (Parentheses Afterwards Show
That The Note Is Still Held)
 
Half Step Bend: ^
 
Fret Hand Mute: x
 
Tremolo (Rapid) Picking: ww
