Good stuff. One tiny thing, that you can take or leave. At the end of the opening riff, I find it easier to slide the 3 on the G up to 5, then hit 3 on the B Cheers for the tab!
someone on youtube plays this in open g, nd from looking at their live vids it looks like they play this in open g. not sure but ill have a go at it in that
yeah is defo open g, much easier 2 play, will tab it tmoz XD
