If you disagree with part of it, then you can play around with the finger picking, but the chords are correct. If you know the names of the chords please comment so I can correct them! Unknown chords 133011 - Some form of F x33013 - Some form of C THE SOLO I have tabbed the solo exactly how Matt plays it, which I did by looking at the making of the resistance DVD. You will have that if you were cool enough to buy it. I went to extremes of studying that fast lick at many different speeds between 7%-100%, and looking closely what Matt's fingers did. It's so fast you can pretty much play any sort of blur on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th frets, if you disagree with what I've tabbed. Not sure if it's a pinch harmonic or sustainer in there, but either is good. The Chorus As I said, LOADS of delay made it very hard to tab this, so no doubt it's not 100% perfect, but as I'm sure Matt will do live, just pick the chords randomly, as long as you get the 6th string right and the chord, it'll sound fine. Enjoy the tab, took me a lot of effort to tab it. Beautiful song.
