Rise Against Ready to Fall The Sufferer & the Witness I took some of this from ver 1, but i modified quite a bit of it and made it how i think it is played. UPDATE 9/2/06: i noticed something in the bridge. Its some sort of picking pattern thats quiet. I tabbed it out. If you can't understand how i explained the end please tell me i'll just tab it out- i got lazy after typing for 5 hours. =) UPDATE 10/20/06: I was listening and noticed some octaves in the verse. If you don't em, don't play till last 3. Also is pre-chorus, I changed G# to F#, thanks to a suggestion NASA.
