This is pretty much correct.
Also, i have the MM4 but it hasn\'t the FX to produce the intro sound;
Lee used a Digitech RP7 (now contained in the GNX series) as well as the
Line 6 stompboxes, im sure there is an FX on the filter pedal as
the sound produced isnt just from tremolo picking.
For Guitar 2, you\'ll prob need a compression pedal to take the \'edge\'
off the open string sound.
Ive included the live ending an some live variations to the song,
based on the ozzfest recordings i have an what i have seen live.
Any questions/comments email me.
Guitar 1: (maybe w/ little delay + maybe v. fast tremolo-pedal FX
an also some sustain effect)
Tremolo pick v. fast. Repeat up to 00:41.
| listen for down slide @ end of 00:06 slide back up exactly 1 second later | D|-------17-----------17\15-------------15/17---------------------| A|-------15-----------15\13-------------13/15---------------------| F|-------14-----------14\12-------------12/14---------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Then at 00:23 the picking changes to single notes played v. fast.
When i saw this live, both times, Guitar 1 (Lee) plays something
like this by placing 1 finger down on the fret, playing the note
an then lifting the finger off so the note doesnt ring out.
He then moves onto the next note:
(FX are still the same as before)
This isnt 100% but it sounds like what was played live an kinda
fits.

Guitar 2: comes in @ end of 00:04 x4
(Mute after each section to stop ringing)

Guitar 1 slows down so each note can be heard but it is still fast
Guitar 2 plays this (below) after 4th repeat of above riff @ 00:24 D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| F|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|--0-0--------5-5-5-5-------1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0------6-6-6-6----| G|--0-0--------5-5-5-5-------1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0------6-6-6-6----| C|--0-0--------5-5-5-5-------1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0------6-6-6-6----| (Mute after each section to stop ringing) D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| F|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|--1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0---------5-5-5-5--------1-1-0-0-----------| G|--1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0---------5-5-5-5--------1-1-0-0-----------| C|--1-1-0-0-0-0------0-0---------5-5-5-5--------1-1-0-0-----------| (Mute after each section to stop ringing) Both Guitars: @ end Of 00:41 (\"Here inside, won\'t be here to stay...\") Verse (with chorus effect + maybe some flange) D|--3--------3--------3--3-------3--------3--3-----------3--------| A|--3--------3--------3--3--3----3--------3--3--3--------3--------| F|--0--------0--------0--0-------0--------0--0-----------0--------| C|--5--------2--------5----------2--------5--------------2--------| G|--6--------3--------6----------3--------6--------------3--------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|--3--3-----------3-------| A|--3--3--3--------3-------| F|--0--0-----------0-------| C|--5--------------2-------| G|--6--------------3-------| C|-------------------------|
Then repeat Intro and verse once more following the same timing.
The only difference is that guitar 2 comes in with guitar 1
imediately after verse (above).
Guitar 1: Plays this over the 2nd repeat of the verse while guitar 2 plays the normal verse (with chorus effect + clean tone + a slight echo) D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| F|--12/14--14\12--------------------------------------------------| C|----------------12--10--12----12/15--14--12--------------9/12---| G|--------------------------------------------15--12--10----------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------17--15-13-12--12/13~--| A|-----------15-15----13---15/17---15---13------------------------| F|--10-------------14---14----------------------------------------| C|-----10--12-----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| The 12/13 on D string is silent/very quick Then Both Guitars: (\"But hey...\" part) (with heavy distortion + chorus) D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------8-8-----8-----8-----8-----8----| F|---------------------------------7-7-----7-----7-----7-----7----| C|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5----| G|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5----| C|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5----| (Mute after each one to stop ringing) x2 D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-8-8-8-----8-8-----8-----8-----8-----8-----8-8-8----------------| F|-7-7-7-----7-7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-7-7----------------| C|-5-5-5-----5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-5-5----------------| G|-5-5-5-----5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-5-5----------------| C|-5-5-5-----5-5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-5-5----------------| (Mute after each one to stop ringing) Guitar 2 continues this riff while Guitar 1 plays this over it: (distortion an mayb a wah or sustain - something to make the notes ring - i just hold them so they ring + the slides are optional as they too make the sound more \'whiney\') D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------11------| F|-/14--10--12--/14--10--12--/14--10--12--/14-10--12----12------12| C|----------------------------------------------------12------12--| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|10-----10------11--------------------------/13--------/10-------| F|-----12------12---/14--10--12--/14--10-12------10--12-----10--12| C|---12------12---------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----11-----10-----10-----11~-----------------------------------| F|---12-----12-----12-----12--------------------------------------| C|-12-----12-----12-----12----------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Let last note ring| At UK Ozzfest, the guitar 1 (Lee) began the overlay in this way: (distortion + chorus, again slides are optional) D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| F|-/10-10--12--14---/10--12--14---/10--12--14---/10-12------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| C|----------------------------------------------------------------| Then after the 12,12,11 on the C,F and A strings, the overlay goes back to normal starting with the 14 on the F and not the 12.
