Tuning: Altered Drop A# (A#,F,A#,D#,F,A#)
Tuning note: You can just tune to standard Drop A# (A#,F,A#,D#,G,C) if you
wish for this song since the 1st and 2nd strings aren't used (at
least for the parts I tabbed) however, to remain consistent with
how the rest of the album is tuned, the notation for this tab
will read with the altered tuning.
