Tuning: Standard(EADGBe)
I Editted the main riff a little bit, and now I think it's spot on with the recording.
first 3/4 of it are the same as I had it before, but in the 1/4 the strumming changes a
and so I think I've got it now. Enjoy!
Intro: It layers itself with three parts, rhythm, lead riff, and solo
Pt.1
(Other Gutiar slides on low E with distortion)
Weird fingering here, but this is how It's done in the video
(NOTE: These are 13's and 10's, not 3's and 1's etc.)
Pt. 2 (Rhythm continues)
MAIN RIFF: Distortion, pay close attention for strumming here
Pt. 3
All other guitars continue
Solo Guitar:(Hold bend) (Hold Bend)
VERS
E
Palm Muting: Notes in aren't needed, but it gives some kick
Play twice, then Transition to Chorus
TRANSITION:"We won't hesitate.."
Guitar 1: Clean
Gutiar 2
CHORUS: Here comes the Main Riff again
VERS
E 2: Rhythm guitar is same as 1st Verse, Lead Guitar spices
it up a bit here
Rythm
This synth is under everything, not important at all
2nd time Lead guitar
TRANSITION 2:
Guitar 1: Slight Distortion
Gutiar 2
CHORUS 2: Same as 1st, but play 2x
2nd time Rhythm gutiar from intro plays
BRIDGE: Pre-solo breakdown. Not much guitar here but I'm pretty sure
the guitar just goes with the bass under the piano and what-have-ya
Palm muted
SOLO: I'd say this is a pretty awesome solo, it's quick at parts,
and I hope this tab is clear enough so you can get it perfect.
TRANSITION 3
Guitar 1
Sustain with wah and whammy bar
LAST CHORUS: This is the Breakdown
"Life is a highway" Fill on 4th time:
"You're goin' my way" on 4th time again:
OUTRO: Main Riff comes back
There's also a 2nd solo in here, the rest of the parts continue
underneath it, then all the guitars fade to the end
This Riff continues, and both Rhythm and Lead play until fade
This is a fill at 3:58, not very important
but it's there so I tabbed it
SOLO:
Prebend
Then Fade
