In case you're wondering (and you probably are) what "Claw'd Version" means, it's just what I play, which
tends to be WAY different from what the actual band plays. I'm not saying I'm better than them, because I
/definitely/ am not! I just thought people might like to try another way to play the song.

= Sustained
~ Tremolo (play REALLY FAST!!)
/ or \ Slide
#h Hammer-on
