This is a cool song off the new album..enjoy playing it!
The intro is played throughout the song. You can play it palm muted or not..however
it sounds better palm muted. There’s also a 2nd guitar using a wah pedal, but since
I don’t have a wah pedal, I did not tab those parts.
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
PM — Palm mute
h — Hammer on
p — Pull off
/ — Slide up
— Slide down
