By: Jon Craven ([email protected]) Write me if you have questions, comments, corrections, want .midi samples of each riff, or have a tab request. (4/4)(169 bpm) Standard tuning Notes: -Played with a pick and some form of distortion; Twiggy uses distortion throughout the entire song with the exception of the first four measures of the first verse and the pre-verse. -I cannot quite nail the end of the second and fourth measures in the first part of the second intro. What I have works with the song, but is not what Twiggy is playing. If anyone can figure out what he's playing, please let me know. -There are small bass parts at the end of the song, but they are really minor and hard to detect because the rest of the band are smashing their instruments. I haven't bothered to transcribe it for that reason. * - note held for an eighth beat (#) - note held from previous riff Intro 1 (rest for four measures)(0:00)
