This is my first attempt at tabbing a song, so bare with me.
It won't give minute detail, but if you are interested in playing this song,
I'm sure you have the skills to get the gist of it from my tab.
 
Tuning: Open G (D G D G B D)
Capo on 6th fret
 
I tend to strum all six strings most of the time, muting the other strings with left
hand.
This is down up strumming for the most part.  It's very fast.

nice job, no clue how you came up with it, right on with the capo and G tuning, video helped get the timing down, now I'll drink a few red bulls to try and sing with the insane strumming. thanks again! CB
