Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD Low to high)
Aight, so this tab is based on their lessonvideo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28oNLoL42FM).
I've divided the tab into two guitars; Guitar 1 (Adam D) and Guitar 2 (Joel Stroetzel). To make
things easier to remember, I will use their names for the different parts, instead of Guitar 1
and Guitar 2. Also, there might be some faults here and there, as sometimes they
really make it fucking
hard to see what they're playing, even when its slowed down, though I think I got it fixed what
you guys pointed out for me now. :)
