Really awesome track from their new album and if you haven't checked out the great music
video for it yet I highly recommend you do! Anyway not much in the way of set up or
anything so lets get started!
INTRO/CHORUS
This can be played a couple of different ways across various strings but I personally
prefer this way. The key to making this sound right and in time is to slide down to each
note - if you try and play along with the lead vocal or what 'should' be in time, it
will be ever so slightly off. Just play around with it and once you get the feel down it makes
sense. But basically whenever you go down the neck, slide there.

VERSE
There are a few times where the palm mute is lifted and the 'fuller' chord is slowly
peeled off - I've done my best to demonstrate that here but you get the idea

again as follows:

And that's it! Just add a few slides in as transitions between the parts as necessary
and your away!
Please feel free to comment/correct and don't forget to rate! I'm going to be working on
