Ok first of all, i don't think there are enough RBF tabs on this site, they're so
its sad. Enjoy =]
In this song there are two guitars (Aaron and Scott) Scott plays pretty much all the
stuff as Aaron except for a few parts, i'll put these other parts underneath the normal one
guitar 2 above it.

hb=hold bend
r=return the bend to the original note
qb=quick bend
pm-----=palm mute
h=hammer on
p=pull off
/=slide up
\=slide down
