you should keep on tabbing cuz every one I've ever seen you do has been about as close to perfect as you can get, daron would be proud
*cough* the natural harmonic is the 5th fred on the "high" c string, 7th fret is to low
ok, so i learned this whole tab a minute ago. great tab. probably one of the best on here for this song, and seriously bro, you have the best soad tabs on this site. the only thing i could pick out of this that might not be totally correct (to an extent because it sounds almost exactly the same) is the in the intro. i think it sounds better if you fret the 23'rd fret instead of the 24'th, or if you do as someone who commented before me said, and use the artificial 7'th fret harmonic on the g string. either way, that is beside the point. great tab. keep playing, keep tabbing, keep it metal, and keep it soad. great shit, great tab. i'm out. peace!
