emericanidolemericanidolUnknown Date
wrong tuning... its in drop D, down half a step
Toolz349Toolz349Unknown Date
no dude, ur wrong. DopeDaddy is right, this song is in C-Sharp. Play along with the song in c-sharp and you'll see its right.
emericanidolemericanidolUnknown Date
haha your right. my bad, i glanced at the "drop c" and never even noticed the sharp. whats funny is that im always correcting people on this tuning issue. lol
opaquenights224opaquenights224Unknown Date
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that pinch harmonics are only used in the first measure of every chorus. The rest are bends, even though bends are used with the pinch harmonics, also.
XDarknessXXDarknessXUnknown Date
major props dude u totally did an awesome job


good job

hey man on the chorus part right after the the 3's and 5's do the exact same thing with the 0's except do 777 7


575 5


and then continue with the rest of the song. thats wat i hear its up to u to change it. thanks man
sPiDaH808sPiDaH808Unknown Date
its almost perfect...





that last "intro" you have in which he slides down the frets while temolo picking is just a tab bit wrong....





if you watch the video you'll understand......








what it should be is...





(bottom two strings)


|-12-11-10-9-8- and so on and so forth......





other than that, its good...


|-10--9--8-7-6-
stickboyLTD10590stickboyLTD10590Unknown Date
toolz and emericanidol....drop d down half a step and c sharp is the same tunin so both of u r right
QuestionQuestionUnknown Date
Next time you tab you should make sure the bar isn't so long that it gets cut off when someone prints the song.:)

1st string is --5--3--2 not 7 8 10 over all nice tab
markbarajasmarkbarajasUnknown Date

oh yeah and try 2---3---5
1223412234Unknown Date
Im just telling everyone that its "Pitch Harmonics" not "Pinch Harmonics"
TheSystem10TheSystem10Unknown Date
On the pre-verse, instead of 3b at the very end, it should be 3-5-3 with a clean slide!
GreenDayGuch666GreenDayGuch666Unknown Date
Your Corrections


guys i hate to tell u this but its actually CGCFAD tuning not C#G#C#F#A#D# tuning. Maybe its just me but i tried both and CGCFAD works for me. Maybe u guys have it on CGCFAD but think its on C#G#C#F#A#D#. IDK, GET A TUNER!!!
andrewrabbhimselfandrewrabbhimselfUnknown Date
I really like this tab...


NICE JOB!!

poison07poison07Unknown Date
This song is in drop C# Not drop C. If you dont believe me, you are tone deaf. Especially if you think it is correct when you play along with them.
toxicityfreaktoxicityfreakUnknown Date
Your Corrections


On the pre-verse it is suppose to be 0--7-0-0-8-0-0-7-0-0-8-0-0-7--0--7-0-0-8-0-0 only on the sixth string
guitarandbassfruitguitarandbassfruitUnknown Date
so ..yeah to the 2 crackers at the top drop D and a half step down and C# r the same things....i know sum1 sed that already but its funny to laugh at . and to the 12234 person...they r called pinch harmonics .....not "pitch" harmonics ...where did u hear that from? u genius
WesleyWinfordWesleyWinfordUnknown Date
For all you idiots that don't know what notes are, a C# and a Db ic the same note, and the correct tuning is drop D then tune down a half step.
WesleyWinfordWesleyWinfordUnknown Date
For all you unexperienced guitar players who aren't real musicians, you call it pinch harmonics, and yall probably can't do it anyway.
