Vampires by Godsmack
Godsmack tunes down an entire step. Tune your guitar this way: D,G,C,F,A,D. Some think
they use a drop D tuning.
Everything Godsmack plays, they play tuned down a whole step.
This is my take on Vampires.

The song repeats the first part over and over, most of it is muted after the chord is played.
Acouple of times through, Tony let's the cords ring (no muting).
There are little variations on this riff throuhgout the song. I'm not much on soloing, but I
got this one I think.
Any questions, email me at: iammightythor@yahoo.com
I was going to put Awake up here too, but there were already 4 up here. Hint, Awake is a drop C tuning:
C,G,C,F,A,D. For those that don't want to tune down, you really don't want to play it right now do you!!
