Sadly, a good amount of this is incorrect. The verse is right, but the rest sounds wrong. Sorry but I'd give it 2.5 stars

I'll hook you guys up with how I play it...it's pretty different. I wouldn't say more correct but different.

yeah you're probably right. i did this at like three in the morning cuz i figured out the verse riff spontaneously, but I played it the next morning and was like, "what was I thinking?". I do think that the bridge and the solo are right, though (the part of the solo that's just the verse but an octave higher), and I'm thinking about overhauling the tab. I've been busy with a For The Silent tab and I just can't get the bridge.
