Tuning: Half step down
This awesome little track starts off pretty easy. The intro and first
verse are just strumming a powerchord. Sounds best if you use all
downstrokes here.
eb|-----------------|-----------------|
Bb|-----------------|-----------------|
Gb|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
Db|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
Ab|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
Eb|-----------------|-----------------|
Repeat this until the drums come in at about 0:38. Then you're gonna toss
in the low Eb note and then add a lower fifth every fourth bar. Make sure
to note that just before and just after we add that low fifth note we're
letting go of the 7th fret on the Ab string to let that note play, as well.
Looks like this:

Eb|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-0-|
Then, after your fourth time of that you're gonna drop the bottom Eb note
and the fifth as well as dropping the octave a half-step. Just two bars of
this and keep your downstrokes.

All right? All right. Here comes the chorus. Kick on the distortion/fuzz
and increase stroke strength a bit.

Play the above three times and then end it with this, gradually bending
the notes in the last bar up a half note and releasing on the last strum
of the bar ('b' for bend, 'r' for return)

Back to the verse now; we're gonna be using that same Eb chord as the first
verse, but in the first bar we're bending it like we just did at the end of
the chorus.

I gotta be honest with you, I'm not 100% on the second bar there, there's a
lot of noise and effects going on with the bass and the guitar tone gets
quieter and more muffled there. If you feel Greg is playing something else
on that second bar then by all means substitute what you feel is more
accurate. Either way, we're now back to this prechorus piece. Play it four
times.

You're actually gonna play that whole bit through three times. Feel free, on
the last go, to up the distortion a little bit and throw some gradual bends in
(like we did on the second verse) on those bars that I've so kindly marked with
an asterisk. Now also on the last go don't worry about that last bar by itself
there. Instead, you're gonna end the song with this here:

Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--7--|--(7)-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|------------------------|
Then just slowly release your bend on that chord and let the song end on
distorted feedback. Awesome. As always, give a couple listens to the song to
get a feeling for the rhythms and timings and tone and such. This one isn't
too hard but it's great to play when you've got the whole band going.
