Tuning: Standard

This is my first tab, I listened to the song a shitload of times, and created this tab
myself, because every tab I've tried for this song, has completely sucked and been out 
tune.The tab is right on, so when you play with the song, its exactly on tune.

YOU NEED 2 GUITARISTS FOR THE SONG TO SOUND RIGHT!


KEY
| /  Slide Up
|   Slide Down
| h  Hammer-on
| p  Pull-off
| =  Hold Note
| +  Harmonic
| x  Palm Mute
| [] Interchangable Tab

| GUITAR 1 - Very Very Slight Distortion
| GUITAR 2 - Heavy Distortion

(slightly palm mute the whole thing, just enough so it can still ring as you hold each note)
