Chords
experiment with the phrasing because I have a hard time writing down exactly what I play
on the guitar, the notes are correct so listen to the song to get the real feel on the
riffs. try pre-bending or playing them as you bend and decide which way sounds more like the real thing
/ - slide
~ - vibratto
. - stacatto
h - hammer on
p - pull off
(5) - grace note (slides)
when use something like 1 1 1 2 3 I'm telling which riffs are played in that place
(riff 1 riff 1 etc..)

I poisoned myself but I survived the thrill of life
