doesn't matter unless ur really keen!
(Standard tuning - EADGBE)
INTRO
(This is also the main riff of the song) You may want to palm mute this
slighty to get a better sound.

SOLO (this bit is tricky!)
Just before the guitarist Starts to play the solo he does a slow pick slide
up the low E or D string depeding on what tuning you are playing the song
in. This slide is slow and has very heavy distortion. You then go into this
solo at around 250 beats per minute and repeat as nessesary until he goes
back into the chorus.
