Tuning : Guitar #1, Standard Tuning (E A D G B e)
Guitar #2, Standard Tuning (E A D G B e)
This is a fairly simple song to play, and can be played in standard tuning, yet I
can't seem to find an accurate intro tab, so here goes.
If it makes it easier, you can use hammer ons and pull offs for these riffs.
Riff A
Guitar #1
E|-------------------------||
B|---------------------3---||
G|------------------3-5----|| Repeat x4
D|--------------3----------||
A|--------5-3----5-3-------||
E|--3--6-3----6------------||
Then comes the same thing, just at a faster tempo,
listen to the song to get the right timing.
Guitar #1
E|-------------------------||
B|---------------------3---||
G|------------------3-5----|| Repeat x4
D|--5-----------3----------||
A|--5-----5-3----5-3-------||
E|--3--6-3----6------------||
Guitar #2 comes in with some fast G power chords
Guitar #2
E|--------||
B|--------||
G|--------||
D|-555555-|| Repeat x4
A|-555555-||
E|-333333-||
Then both guitars play Riff A, with a power chord at the start this time.
Guitars #1 & #2
E|-------------------------||
B|---------------------3---||
G|------------------3-5----|| Repeat x4
D|--5-----------3----------||
A|--5-----5-3----5-3-------||
E|--3--6-3----6------------||
Then comes Riff B, also both guitars
Guitars #1 & #2
E|------------------------||
B|------------------------||
G|------------------------|| Repeat x2
D|--5-5---3-------------5-||
A|--5-5--5-5-3-5--5-3---5-||
E|--3-3-6------------6--3-||
Then comes a little fill-like part before going back into Riff B, this part has
some strange timing, so once again listen to the song.
Guitars #1 & #2
E|--------------------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------------------||
G|--------------------------------------------||
D|--5--5----5---5--5----5---5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5--||
A|--5--5-3--5---5--5-3--5---5--5-5-5-5-3-5-5--||
E|--3--3--6-3---3--3--6-3---3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--||
Repeat the whole section from Riff B down to here, and go back into Riff A four more times.
Guitars #1 & #2
E|-------------------------||
B|---------------------3---||
G|------------------3-5----|| Repeat x4
D|--5-----------3----------||
A|--5-----5-3----5-3-------||
E|--3--6-3----6------------||
Then comes Riff C, which eventually leads into Riff D and ends the Intro.
