Tuning: Drop C

This is an amazing song by KSE. Riff E is definatly right (watched a video on youtube) and sounds epic :P. A quick tip for Riff F though, leave your index finger to play the 2nd fret only. Build a chord around the other 3 fingers (3rd on A - Middle, 4th on D - Pinky, 3rd on B - Ring) Its a weird shape but sound cool :P PLEASE RATE
