Well, I'm sure about the riffs, but the solo part I'm not very certain, so, if you have any suggestion please tell me. For this song, you must tune you guitar at Dropped-D, but you know, EXTREME tunes at Eb, so I could say that you must tune at Dropped-Db. Anyway, This is the tuning (high to low): Eb-Bb-Gb-Db-Ab-Db Questions, criticism, or whatever, please email me TABLATURE EXPLANATION: ?+ or 1+ = Bend half or whole tone ?+- = Bend & release ^ = Pull-Off & Hammer-On ~~~~~~ = Vibrato . = Palm mute x = Muffled strings Intro: ...Fade In |--------------------------------------------------------0-------0-------|
