New song off the Madden 2005 soundtrack and their new album coming out
Tuesday September 21st (Today).  Enjoy!

Notation Key:

v - Downstroke
^ - Upstroke
h - Hammer On
p - Pull Off
* - Natural Harmonic Note
~ - Let Ring
/ - Slide Up

x - Muted String
p.m. - Palm Mute


Intro (with Wah):

NOTE:  Hit the harmonics and while letting them ring, roll the wah foward.  Wait
three beats (i.e. count to 3 in your head while you're doing it) then on the 4th,
mute the harmonic on the D# string and turn the wah off.  It'll sound just like 
the real intro.

Intro (continued):

There is a second guitar oversampled here that hits muted strings while slowly
rocking a wah forward and back.  I only tabbed the main riff.
