Note: He usually uses a piece of foam at the edge of his bridge that mutes the strings for a nice, old-school tone. So if you want it to sound like him, palm mute the whole thing or get a piece of foam. Note: He does slight variations of the same fill on nearly every chorus. Rather than just tabbing the fills and making you figure out where it goes, I tabbed each chorus individually and placed each fill in their respective spot. Note: Tune Down 1/2 Step Intro: No bass for first 8 measures F#||---------------|----------------|----------------|---------------||

quarter note into each measure. I?m not sure what it is. It could be ghost notes as I have it, or it could be harmonics, or it could be another instrument. If you listen real close, you?ll hear what I?m talking about. If you don?t want to figure it out, just play it like every other chorus. -----------9g---------------|-----------9g---------------| -----------xg---------------|-----------xg---------------| --7-------------------------|--7--------------------9----| --------------------7-------|----------------------------| -----------7g---------------| -----------xg---------------| ----------------------------| --7-----------------7-------| --------------------7g------------------------------| --------------------xg----9h-11----12----9----------| --------------------------------------------9--8----| --7-------------------------------------------------| -----------9g---------------|-----------9g---------------| -----------xg---------------|-----------xg---------------| --7-------------------------|--7--------------------9----| --------------------7-------|----------------------------| -----------7g---------------|-----------7g---------------|----------------| -----------xg---------------|-----------xg---------------|----------------| ----------------------------|----------------------------|--7-------------| --7-------------------------|--7-----------------7-------|-----------7----| ----------------------------|-------|| ----------------------------|-------|| --7--------------------9.---|-------|| ----------------------------|--7----||
