Alright, for this song, I had to simplify the main riff to keep it from looking too cluttered. For Guitars 1
and 2, most of their parts are played as diads (chords using 2 strings), but emphasis is usually switched
back and forth between the 2 notes. If I were to tab this that way, I would have to put a ton of
parenthesis around notes in the majority of the riffs, and the note emphasis is fairly random, so it just
would have been a pain to do. Therefore, I've tabbed this the way it's done live, where Mike and Brad
just strum the diads normally, without emphasizing either note. It may not be the most "correct" way of
tabbing this song, but it was really the only feasible way for me to do it. Just listen to the album and you'll
get a pretty good idea on which notes are being emphasized. This song is played a bit differently live,
Brad and Mike like to change chords on offbeats sometimes instead of doing everything as straight 8th
notes, and during Guitar 1's parts when it plays the 7th fret on the G and B strings, Brad likes to add in
the 9th fret on E as well. Guitar 1 plays throughout the song, Guitar 2 is the rhythm guitar during the
chorus, and Guitars 3 and 4 come in for the heavy powerchords during the bridge and appear again for
the octave part during the outro. I would've tabbed Guitars 3 and 4 as a single guitar, but during the outro,
one guitar comes in 4 beats earlier than the other (since one guitar is panned to each side, it's easy to notice),
so I had to notate them seperately. One little note on the ending, for Guitar 4, let the last octave ring out,
vibrato the notes by shaking the neck of the guitar up and down, and then let off with your fretting hand
and slide your fingers down the neck to get that scraping sound.On the live version, Brad plays Guitar 1
for the entire song except for the outro, where he plays Guitar 4. Mike plays Guitar 2 for the choruses and
outro, and Guitar 3 (or 4) for the bridge.
