PROPS GO TO: Matt Veneklase
When playing the intro and breakdown I use my middle finger like
it's
a pick(downstrokes) to make it quieter. That way I can still hold my
pick and don't have to worry about a volume pedal.
The number on the left of the chord diagram represents the low
E-string, the number on the right represents the high e-string.
An "X" means not to play that string.
Chords used in tab part: Dmaj7-10,9,11,XXX F#sus4-79,11,XXX
Dsus4-357XXX A5-577XXX B5-244XXX
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
P.M.------ = palm mute for length of dashed line
Part 1: Play this for the verses and the first part of the intro
and breakdown, just play it once when playing the intro or breakdown.
The verses actually have a slightly different rhythm, listen to the
CD if you care.
