------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Break The Silence - Killswitch Engage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Shreddies147 Email:shawnkade@yahoo.ca This is the complete, IMO most correct, and probably EASIEST lead guitar's tablature for this sick song. I do believe this is Adam D's part. All of this was tabbed by ear, and im pretty sure this is on-the-dot how its played. If you have any questions about this tab, or some feedback, please feel free to express yourself. ENJOY \m/(>_<)\m/ IM BROWN(SOUTH-ASIAN) AND IM PROUD!!!!!
