overall, great tab.
few points.
1)i think i hear 2nd guitar going back between D chord (x 5 7 7 x x) and G chord (3 5 5 x x x) during verses.
2) during the solo, the 2nd 1/2 of the third line isn't in the album version.
3) during the solo, at the end, you're playing G and D on the 12th frets, you need to alternate between:
G| 12b 12 12 10 10
D| 12b 12 12 12 12
like so.
4) before 14b x3 on the solo,this is played three times:
B- 14
G- 12
D- 12
it's there. very distorted.
5) throughout the solo you hear the 2nd guitar playing G and G chords as noted above.
6) after the solo, during the verses, the 2nd guitar plays full D and G chords, not just 3 strings.
Chris, nice job- your a god. keep on doing tabs.
one more thing. above, the chorus says that the guitars 1 and 2 play the same thing. this is incorrect. 1st guitar plays that. the 2nd guitar plays chords: D, Em, F#m:
D (x 5 7 7 7 5)
Em (x 7 9 9 8 7)
F#m(x 9 11 11 10 9). The combo of chords for chorus is:
D Em F#m Em D Em F#m Em
I don't if this is right, but I'm going to put it in. The solo, how it's tabbed above, doesn't make for best technique. Starting on the 3rd line of the solo above, I play it this way:
B
G
D 12 10 10 12
A 12 10 10 12
E 11 11
then
B
G 12 10 10 12
D 12 10 10 12
G 11 11
E
spacing got screwed up in the last comment. you can figure it out. sorry.
