Tuning is Double Drop-C# (Double Drop-D a half-step down): C# G# C# F# A# C#
-- Based off both the album and live versions in order be both as accurate as possible and practical for
performing live.
-- Rhythm is roughly hashed out but listening/playing to the original song is going to be the best way to get
it just right, esp. with all the sextuplets in the solo.
-- Features both a Rhythm (Guitar 1) and Lead (Guitar 2) part.

To simplify things once you've gone through each part, this is the order of song sections using the
abbreviations I mentioned earlier:
[A][B][C][D][B][E][D][F][D][G]
a.k.a.
Intro-Interlude-Verse1-CHORUS-Interlude-Verse2-CHORUS-Solo-CHORUS-Outro
This song has a lot going on but it's a ton of fun once you get the hang of it! Feel free to email me with
any comments or questions. Hope you enjoy.
