Artist: The Devil Wears Prada

down-tuned E string) 3 half steps(?)
B F# B E G# C#
Some parts of this tab have been out for a while
(ex. sweeping part, variations of main riff, etc.)
However, this tab contains my version of some parts,
corrections on the already existing parts, additional
parts, and directions as well as the aforementioned content
presented in an organized manner
The greatest addition, however, is the inclusion of both
lead and rhythm, presented on a separate tab each
Note: Lead and rhythm alternate between both guitars (and speakers)
However, due to conveniency issues, I just put lead as one tab and
rhythm as another
