Thats it. Its a very fun song but its pretty tricky. The hardest part
Is the timing in the intro. Im pretty sure this whole tab is right 
except for 
the part at 4:12. Please Rate!

great tab, but spacing the notes to show timing would make it easier to follow, too me a while to get it right

Good work! Out of all the tabs for this track your intro is the only one that sounds spot on, so keep up the good work!

also you play the intro 2 more times before going into the verse you dont come in with the verse riff the same time as the guitar does

your intro sounds good and i dont think mine is right but i have seen it live and the only thing i am suggesting is that it is played on the 10th and 12th frets

Thats what I was trying to say. I think that it may be played up on the 10th and
12th frets like you said, so if you want to play it there, just figure out how
to play my intro there.
 
Got something to say?
