Track: Butterflies and Hurricanes Live
Album: Absolution


Another great new song from Muse. The album version is all piano but live Matt plays it 
on the guitar and it sounds great.


The intro is just the bass tapping on and off the 12th fret on the higher D string.
Then the guitar comes in when Matt starts singing.

Light distortion, played quietly.

When Matt sings "Best" switch to this.

Start this on "Your time is now".

Now play from the start again but with loud disortion.

Thats pretty much it really, Matt does some improvisation before the piano 
solo that I cant remember, but apart from that this is it.
