Tuning is Standard EADGBE
Preferably played on an acoustic, but a clean electric is fine.
This is the whole main guitar's portion. I learned this from the 1:30 second version,
BUT the 4:30 version is the exact same riffs just longer, so use your ears and figure out
what to play if you want to play along with the 4:30 one.
It's very simple.
Let everything ring unless you are playing the same string which (obviously) mutes the
last note.
Every note is pretty much a syllable in the vocalists words. So just
follow along in your head and it's easy.
Follow the tab below to the words above it.

// = Slide
Do not slide unitl the very moment right before the 1 on high E. You don't have to do it,
it just gives a more put together and fluent sound.
