really good job on the intro, best i've seen, some of the other parts like the chorus could use some work, good job though!
Actually Shawn, your intro isn't entirely correct. E[-------------------------------------------------------------------------------:] B[-------------------------------------------------------------------------------:] G[------5-----------7-------5-------------------5---------5---------5-----------7:] D[--7-----7---7---5-----7-----7---7---5-----7-----7---7-----7---7-----7---7---5--:] A[5---8-----5---8-----5---8-----5---8---7-5---8-----5---8-----5---8-----5---8----:] D[-------------------------------------------------------------------------------:] Mute everything but the notes on G. You repeat this for however many times and it dies out with something like this. E[-------------:] B[-------------:] G[-------------:] D[7---5--------:] A[--8---7~b^1/2:] D[-------------:]
Amazing tab! Very accurate. But takes some time to learn it correctly and catch the subtleties. Well done!
