Sinister Rouge, in all it's glory. Standard tuning.



Intro/solo rhythm-backing. 

I've tried to establish some sort of strum-rhythm thing here, but if you can't pick up
on it, just do it your way. It's not a difficult rhythm to figure out.

Solo - because this is played at such high speed, and because it is probably Brett doing
it on one take, it is hard to tab, so this is a loose representation of it. However, I
hope it it still fairly accurate.

I haven't tabbed out the outro solo, as I'm guessing it's sheer improv. To play the
rhythm, just play the verse til the end!
