I added an ideal upstroke/downstroke pattern per each note or "phrase" that makes the entire sequence of notes in the riff flow beautifully and efficiently. Note: The up/down stroke method is entirely a personal preference. However, sometimes an upstroke is just meant to be an upstroke. Try playing the E|-0-| panic chord without the upstroke like Tim does, it really makes that chord "scream". B|-4-| | Λ Downstroke | V Upstroke | x Dead note | / Slide up | \ Slide down | * Palm mute There are many, many different versions of the In Regards to Myself intro riff tab, amongst dozens of guitar cover/tutorial videos on youtube playing and teaching the riff...wrong. I watched the Alternative Press' video with Tim McTague giving a close up tutorial of how he actually plays the intro riff to In Regards. I am posting a link to the youtube video of Tim giving a quick tutorial on how to play it, and I would advise anyone wanting to learn this quickly to watch Tim's (short) In Regards intro riff lesson. You really get a feel for the time signatures and the pulse of the riff watching Tim play it with the correct tablature pulled up next to it. I've never created a tab until this one, and I probably won't make one again. This was a great opportunity to correct every video or tab I had ever watched or seen. I haven't seen too many songs/riffs where there was not one single correct tutorial or tab available. Here is one less. Cheers.
