If you found something like this --->       /s You'll have to make a slide (from fret 12 to 5 in this case)    When instead of a chord I put (N.P.), it means that you don't have to play any chords there USEFUL INFORMATION: Guitar 1 (The one who plays the riffs) plays with soft distortion.                     Guitar 2 (The one who plays chords) plays with no distortion These are the chords        EADGBe      EADGBe A     [x02220] or [577655] C     [x32010] or [x35553] F     [133211] G     [320003] or [355433] Bb    [688766] or [x14441] A(Br) [xxx220] Am    [x02210] or [577555] Em    [x79987] or [022000] Fm    [133111] Well, I guess i've covered all the angles.
