Tuning: Half Step Down (D# G# C# F# A# D#)

If you have a questions, corrections, or anything of the sort, then leave me a comment.
I figured this all out by ear so it probably isn't perfect but I think it sounds pretty close.

*March 30 - Updated tapping sections*

(the t in parenthesis are optional taps)

August 10, 2009 - Went over tab again and tightened everything up

Alternative Intro Tapping: This is exactly how Luke plays the intro. You may opt to use 
one at the top since I think it's easier to play and it's easier to get a cleaner 
sound, but both work well.
