Battery Guitar Tablature
This song is preety hard and long but its all here except for the long solo which ill add later but im just to lazy to tab it out.
 
Most of this tab is taken from Addi, I just added some stuff to correct it. So thanx to Addi.

Normal tuning;

Key

h : hammer on

p : pull off

# : palm muted

* : repeated so many times eg. riff 3 *2, means repeat it twice.
