This is my interpretation of Alexi’s guitar part made for a fun playable version.
Solo is 100% correct.
The rest is mostly correct (see bracketed comments and the variations between live and
versions)
Note there is no Palm Muting marks because I don’t think you need them (just listen to
song and you should be able to figure it out).
Tuning is Drop C
