Burn It Down Tab

Alter Bridge - Burn It Down
Tabber:  Jonathan Rafaiani (IamJonsCranium)

***I forgot to change the first chord in the chorus in my last tab

I'm not sure if Tremonti uses an alternative tuning for this song, and I'm
really not sure if the 3rd chord of the chorus is correct, but I tabbed this
in standard tuning and it sounds good to me.  This is my first tab, and I have
no idea how you guys get everything to line up right (give me a tip in the
comment section?).  The strumming pattern and chord changes are easy enough to
figure out, so I didn't include that in my tab.  I also only included some of
the main picking riffs throughout the song (but not the final solo), none of the
little stuff in between.  Maybe I will finish it sometime later.  Thanks Royce
for the solo help.  Brenna is a cutie.
