Tuning:  Standard



Notes:  One of my absolute favorites to play!  The guitar should have enough distortion 

for a full sound, filling the gaps and almost covering how few notes it plays.  Sounds 

on acoustic, too, if you add more filler notes.

Verse Rhythm Riff:  Let bass notes ring; all notes are picked on eighth note beat and 

almost like an arpeggiation (I guess technically it is one); this repeats through every 

and at the end of the song

Verse Rhythm Riff (2nd):  Feel free to play more filler notes and arppeggiate the chord; 

like the sound better personally
