I'm not 100% sure about about the solo, but I'm sure about the rest of the song. This
took a long time so please show me some love. :)
Tips:
The "x" indicates a guitar slap/muted note. I generally slap my thumb and hit multiple
strings, while palm muting. Make sure to listen to the song and try to capture the
timing. You must be able to quickly change barre chord shapes to follow the original track.
Chord shapes:
F#M shape, switching to Bm shape
For pre-chorus and chorus, it's a barre chord E shape, moving up the frets.
It's important to lift up in between the chords to pluck the B and G strings as
indicated in the tab.
