This is the tab for biffy's awesome cover of weezers buddy holly. Theres some really
riffing in this, with some tricky timimg, so you should listen to the song to get a good
of the rythym.
Tuning - Drop C, i.e. CGCFAD
Tab symbols
/=slide up \=slide down h=hammer on p=pull off ^=bend
pm=palm muting
Note on bending:
12^15^13 means bend at the 12 fret, and bend the note up to the note at the 15th fret,

intro:
part 1:

-6-9-6---6-9-6---6-9-6---6-9-6\-|
-7-7-7---7-7-7---7-7-7---7-7-7\-|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
part 2: Listen to the song for the proper rythym, don't get hung up on playing the 10
6 times, it's just to show the notes played. Use the same logic for part 3.

-3- x a lot, then slide up to -4- strum fast, then slide and end on -5-|
-3- -4- -5-|

then riff 1 again, once. then, i can tell you what chord to start on but after that your
your own, just keep strumming fast, slide up the neck slowly and then just mess about
the strings high up, that tends to sound quite close.
