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
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-
1st string is --5--3--2 not 7 8 10 over all nice tab
oh yeah and try 2---3---5
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!!!
NICE JOB!!
~Andrew~
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
