note:( on the last progression of this intro riff adam d uses an open D string for the high note rather than shifting from 5th to 6th frets )
G1:Dirty INTROtorted Power Chords
-Too lazy to add the palm muting but u listen to the song to work that out ( it goes in sevens then hold the chord)

G2:Dirty INTROLead
Dont let the notes ring, sort of mute on and off in short bursts. The notes will be sharper therefor cut through the distortion easier .

That is the guts of the song you can mostly work out the rest with what is here.
This riff appears in the mild breakdown that happens later. its pretty fully sick

This tab is an eyesore to say the least dude, please try to set it out properly before you submit it.
Look at a few other highly rated tabs for some layout guidelines if you need to because in this state, it's not very appealing to look at and most people won't give it the time of day to learn from it(regardless of how good the actual tab is).
As for the tab, well, I actually haven't tried playing it so I can't give you a very good indication of how accurate it is. But if you can clean it up a bit, I'll definitely give it a go.
I hope you take this as constructive criticism. Cheers.
you messed up the verse just a little bit, theres no slides its all single notes, leave another comment here if you want me to show you what it is, dont if you wanna figure it out for yourself. pretty much the rest of it all spot on tho pAmpH was right tho, just clean it up a bit. good effort tho, especially for a first tab.

i guess i rushed it
that keeps the sets of notes together which makes it easier to watch and play along with.
i'm a bassist so not going to comment on the actual notes. but looks like you've put some effort in. keep it up dude!
