hi, so i checked out a couple tabs around, and i thought they were reasonably accurate
but were maybe overcomplicating things idk so i happened to find an easier way to play
the song. this version is all power chords and lead fills so yeah. hope u like it :)
--------------------------------------VERSE-------------------------------------
the verse part is really simple. just keep a feedback going along with the bass part and
rush out like 3 chords by the end so yeah ere we go
Beat: --------- (9 spaces)

eyed it dried it whatever
the power chords are like 3 per beat i think but it's kinda hard to tab so idfk figure
it out yourselves im past carin' lol
yeah like i said this is the simplest riff you could possibly play so let's move on
------------------------------------CHORUS--------------------------------------
the chorus' also pretty simple, you just gotta work on the lead fill/chords transition
that is a bit tricky at first. personally i like to improvise the leads around these
examples, to keep it interesting, so play with octaves and like pull-offs/hammer-ons and such.

i like playing it so that there's a kind of faint "chckch" sound between the chords,
like sliding my pick on the muted strings between transitions? yeah.
------------------------------------BRIDGE--------------------------------------
the bridge is the most intense part of the song and demands to be played as such. if you
play with more than one overdrive/fuzz pedal on your pedalboard, this is the time to
kick it in.

after that comes the solo, which i am not pro enough to tab lmfao also like solos aren't
written on stone, they're crafted then and there, so like, get yourselves workin' i guess.
