Track: I'm Alive
Artist: Disturbed
Album: Ten Thousand Fists(2005)
Courtesy: Manek D'Silva(a.k.a Disturbinator)
The song could also be played in C tuning, I'm not sure what Dan Donegan does... it'll
be a little different in some parts though. This is just how I play the song, there are
many other ways.
PS: Theres alot of background stuff- 2nd verse 2nd guitar? post-bridge chorus(where the
guitars seem to stop)... mainly some plucking of extra notes from the full chord that
you're playing at that time.
If you have an idea about these parts, or if theres anything else you wanna say, email
