add some vibrato and shit to sound like dime
Post- solo: Figure out the strumming, it pretty much follows the syllables
of the lyrics
F# A G# B D E
All of the riffs and parts of the song are here, figure out the song structure.
I will try to tab some more songs from the album but it's a bitch because Dime
played around with the tuning so much...
