Song: Ground Hog's Day
Guitar transcribed by CAM.
The existing tab for this song is a little incorrect.
You have to see Ler play it to know how to play it.
Like I did for 'To Defy The Laws of Tradition', I'll
lay down the basic structure in parts, then you can
put it all together. Again, use this tab and play along
with the song to figure out the strumming pattern.
h =hammer on
p =pull off
b =bend string up
r =release bend
/ =slide up
\ =slide down
x =muted struck string
Intro:

E----------12\------3/6--------------------------------------
This next bar will be used later aswell: (intro riff) Listen
for a few subtle differences.

E--5\-5-0-5-5-5\3/5------------5-5-5-5\3/5-------------------
Repeat the intro riff noted earlier and then the verse.
The next chorus line changes a little:

E--5\-5-0-5-5-5\3/5----------5-5-5-5\3/5---------------------
Back to the intro riff, then the verse a couple more times.
Next it gets into a heavy section that gradually ends the song.
There's a few main riffs that are repeated throughout this
part of the song. I'll give you the riffs and you can puzzle
it together by listening to the song. It's pretty fast and
furious, and goes like this:
