Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Open D (DADF#AD) 

This is a finger picked song, so put down that pick. It's important that you properly 
mute the main riff (eg - starting at 0:11). It's easiest for me to focus on muting 
with my picking hand. It takes practice, it won't come right away. Also remember
to use your slide muting techniques to isolate the right notes and cut down on
extraneous noise while using the slide. 

For convenience, I'm just going to put F in the boxes instead of F#. 



Key:
where # represents a number

#h# - hammer
#p# - pull
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
#b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note.
#r# - release bend from bended note to normal note.
=== - beneath chord box. Represents the use of a guitar slide.
