INFO:
There's already a tab up for the chords, which I used to use to play along to this song,
but being only three chords, I got a bit bored eventually and decided to make this.
There are MANY layers of guitar, I will do my best to tab as many as I can hear and
label each separately and accurately, in addition to providing rhythm chords beneath the tab.
LEGEND:
/ - Slide up
\ - Slide down
h - Hammer-on
p - Pull-ff

Ok, well that's it. A nice song, a bit harder to tab than I thought it would be.
Considering the layering, there's a high chance of me missing or inaccurately tabbing a bit
here and there, but nothing sounds bad in this to me.
If there are any obvious mistakes feel free to comment. I hope not.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Have fun. -Andrew.
